    Glad to be here!

    I have been around chickens for 20+ years. My mom kept chickens, I’ve worked on farms, I’ve taken care of flocks while their owners are away from town and I have been advising a school chicken program here in Southern California since 2016. This is my first year raising chicks on my own! I have...
