    Soon-to-Be (Hopefully) Duck Mom

    My sincerest apologies!

    For the longest time I thought y'all were crazy about this chicken math thing. How do you go to the store for one thing and magically double your flock? That wasn't going to be me! My starting flock was just going to be two chickens. I ordered the coop and hardware cloth. Tuesday, the items...
