    Thank you for welcoming me into the chicken community!

    I rescued 3 hens 6 months ago (2 recently passed in the last 2 months) and since then, we’ve added 3 new chicks to the flock (so now have a total of 4 chickens!) and we also have 2 rescued ducks. I am excited to learn more. ❤️ Here’s a peek at some of my lovelies!
