    Best way to integrate Momma and chick with main flock

    That is so funny! They really are characters aren't they? My current broody is all puffed out and growly, but when I pat her and do baby talk to her she settles down. Poor baby! Anyway, in other news: Hubby and I joined the two mini pens within the main coop so it's pretty much half and...
