Hi Imani and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us
As a gold star family, you have a special place in my heart. I raise heritage layers as well as meat birds. If you ever need anything, don't be shy about reaching out. PM or public, just doesn't matter. If I don't know the answers, I can probably steer you to someone who does.
Welcome to BYC! I'm a homeschool mom of 5 and we just recently started our Chicken Journey. The kids love it and I loved reading about your experience.
