    Noob!

    New to the chicken game but the wife and I want to eat healthier and figured what better way than to raise our own food. We got six chicks to start out and love every one of our "girls". We got 2 white leghorns (Dixie & Esther), 2 buff Orpingtons (big red & chickie nugget), and 2 ameracaunas...
