    Chicks from the grab bag?

    I went in to Tractor Supply in March to buy my first pullets, how exciting. Well, they have a 6 chick minimum. They had 4 RIR left, but lots of cute balls of fluff in the "grab bag". I picked out 2, one solid white and the other with a small amount of black specks, Salt and Peppa. 6 months...

    The Winchester Mystery Manson of Chicken Coops/Run

    I am so happy to have a place to post this. My darling husband is not an animal person but he really loves me. I started with 6 RIR I got at tractor supply in March and a 6x6 coop/run combo, which they quickly outgrew (in my mind). Last month he built a 10' x 18' run which he is very proud of...
