    Happy new mama!

    I had all but given up to get any of my girls to go broody.

    Hi Chicken folks,

    Hi I'm a new member here, although I have been peeking in your forum for a few months. It seems that my google searches into things chicken keep bringing me to these pages, so today I decided to join up. I was raised on a large Wyoming ranch where we had most every critter you could think of...
