So, I think I should have you take Bella ( the sicilian buttercup) from me this weekend - I'll be sad to see her go, but I'll feel so much better knowing she'll have a milder winter to contend with!

    newbie adopts 3 pullets- bad mix?

    So, I adopted three pullets as a total newbie... Two are stuck together at the wing- same breed, probably sex-link ISA brown or something. They are supposedly 4 or 5 months old. The third is a Sicilian Buttercup, and may be much younger, as young as 2 or 3 months. They were all raised/living...
