Hello all, I'm going to be away for a few days, and a dear friend is looking after my birds while I'm gone! I've given her permission to use my account if she has any problems, as I will be far, FAR off grid. (I can't WAIT!) Thank you all in advance for helping her, but hopefully she won't need...
I LOVE camping! In fact, my first pet rooster used to go camping with me, and he seemed to really enjoy it. (So long as he was with me!) My son had a pet Bantam Cochin hen that we took on road trips with us, she really loved camping at festivals where she could wander and make new friends. (And...

I'm hoping to find some fellow chicken lovers, or at least a few folks who appreciate these wonderful creatures, down here in New Mexico. Currently I'm in Roswell, and I have not yet started my flock! Anyone out there??? 😍
