I am new to this whole thing hopefully this will work! I wanted to tell you about my chickens. it was kind of a joke at first but now we have 2 beautiful RIR. My husband was told to bring a chicken to Mother's Day Dinner and that's how we ended up with Hooter & Chick-fil-a. Everyone laughed when...
