We are located in Cumberland County.
Thanks!
Hi Everyone!
New to the boards and New to the world of raising chickens. We got our first chickens yesterday. We got 8 rhode island reds (They said they were all females we will see) and 1 that they said was a rooser (again I guess we will see right?)
Anyway... everyone keeps telling me that...
