All is good here. I have 7 hens now, all 1 yo or less.
DH and I just bought a small piece of land in the mountains and we are going to build an off grid cabin on it.

Update on the Littles. All is well. They are integrating well with the Bigs. Only one hen picks on them. I will be remodeling the coop soon. The Littles still sleep in their box, but have looked into the coop. :wee
I feed them a feed from a local supplier. It’s called Ellenbas. Organic and no GMO.
We are in Idaho and we have long dark winters. I do not give my girls light in the coop but, I will add light soon.
