    Oyster shells- how frequent?

    Lone chicken - looking for solutions

    This is my first time posting here. I'm excited to be part of this community! This is also my first time raising chickens. I got my first order of chicks four weeks ago and unfortunately only one of them made it alive. I was able to "foster" a chicken from a friend to keep my lone chicken...
