My 23 year old son lives with me with my grandbaby KookieZ(she is an 3 year old Adult Female Miniature Wirehaired Tri-Merle Double Dappler Dachshund)plus my Barred Rock Rooster/Hen named Willow Jade and Karen Ruth, my 4 week old Cornish Cross Broiler chicks named Sunnie and Cher(not sure if all 8 of my chicks are pullets or cockrels yet), my 4 week old Partridge Cochin Bantam chicks named Pippa, Piper, Oaklee and Dottee, my 4 week old Black Silkie Bantam chick named Virgil and my 4 week old Micro Polish Bantam chick named Maebelle.

Hi, Megan and Co.! I'm in SE Missouri now but spent about a third of my life in NW NM, so I'm kind of a former neighbor of yours! Welcome to the wonderful world of chickening! And to paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, you're right, the outside of a chicken is good for the inside of a human. Only ... he was talking about horses.
