    R.I.P.

    Howdy!

    After lurking for several months, and finding myself returning here for tips and advice, I decided it was time to join. I've been keeping backyard layers for the past 21 years continuously, after a 10 year break from my first flock. My chickens live very well in the "Chicken Hilton" I built a...
