    Tiny Flock Needs?

    So for the past two springs, I've hatched chicks in my kids' school. The chickens then went to live at my parent's house in the country. My city recently passed legislation to allow backyard chickens (yay!) So I bought a tiny coop (actually, my wonderful sister bought me one!) and took two of...

    classroom incubating

    I'm going to hatch some eggs in my kids' classrooms this spring. The chickens will live at my parents' farm. (They're just starting a flock and we thought this would be a fun way to do it.) We're hoping to have chickens that are pretty docile since they're be around kids a lot, pretty decent...
