    Hello from the Missouri Ozarks!

    HI!! My name is Lori, and I live in the far SW corner of Missouri. This past winter, my family moved to a house that had plenty of room--and a ready-to-use chicken coop! After a lot of reading and research, we are anxiously awaiting our first little babies to arrive from the hatchery next...
