I’ve noticed my black Australorp Sasha is looking a little shaggy and not as smooth as my Easter egger and barred rock, I’m wondering if they all “struggle” a little as they mature?

    FINALLY! The babies are here!

    I bought a coop about 3 years ago and have been a member here for about as long, but something would always come up that would postpone getting chicks! My husband has never been around chickens and didn't want to be alone to take care of chicks while I travel, which is frequently. However, I...
