    rooster or strange hen?

    I'm sad, lost a chick.

    new hen house finally done!

    Yesterday my 30 babies finally moved out of the brooder and into their new home, they are so much happier and calmer. I got to hold and pet each little one as we moved them. My wonderful son-in-law worked hard remodeling a large horse stall and corral into a lovely home for my new flock. This...
