Not technically new - hear me out!
I’m Charlie. My first post here was in April of 2020, I had a beautiful mixed flock of chickens that I had raised myself. I love animals, I also was living with six precious dogs at the time.

Well, I’m Charlie. I currently have 11 chicks. It’s my first time taking care of chickens on my own.

I have a Yorkie named Romeo, a Maltese mix named Faith, a Shihtzu...
