    Moving to Pine, Colorado

    Hi from South Denver

    Hey all. My family just entered the world of backyard chickens last weekend. Picked up 5 chicks ranging from 4 weeks to 12. The coop is essentially finished. I'll put up pics later. We had an unfortunate incident with our dog, 5 year old and his 8 week old chick Miss Bubbles this morning...
