I am finally going to join in on all of the chicken excitement. I've been reading quite a bit and learning a lot on this web site since we got 10 baby chicks almost 5 months ago. We're down to 5 Buffs and 4 Wellsummers because we had cull a wellsummer because she had a severe scissor beak and was starving. It's nice to be a part of a supportive community of chicken parents!
