No other eggs have been pipped.

I decide that this coop was just not big enough. EXPANSION!

For oh so long, I have hatched the babes, raised the babes, and given the babes away.
Two years ago, I was given 72 hours left to live, a new liver, and a new chance. I look for therapy in the smallest ways and have longed to sit back and watch my own flock of chickens meander around my...
I've never lost a chick before, but this week I have had two mysterious deaths. My chicks are secure and have fresh food and water. Of the nine chicks, I believe that four of them were males. Two of the four have died.
