Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!!! That is really awesome of you all!!

I am in Southwest Lower Michigan..Near Grand Rapids! Kids will be out of school on Thursday so hopefully I will have more time to get to know how everything works in here. I would really like to share a story of an ad that my husband answered for chickens and it was dusk by the time he got there and basically it was a pay,load,leave kinda thing and it wasn't until early the next morning we realized how abused and neglected these chickens were and what we seen,and what we had to deal with. I have several pictures and would like to share a story of compassion and love for chickens and show you how far they have come since being with us. One question,what topic would I post this in? The one that says Your chicken story and pictures? Would that be ok? I tell you,we turned this man into Animal Control and I also emailed him,of course he never emailed back but I told him how awful of a person he was to put living creatures through that..So hope to share that with you all. Even as hard as it was for us and as hard as it was on them,I would never change a thing,I would never want back all the money we have put into supplies to save their lives,I would never want it to have been broad daylight to have Eric have actually been able to see all the wounds,because I don't think he would have taken the chickens...it all worked out and they have a very happy life now and are really blossoming and healing nicely..
Have a wonderful day everyone.

On June 25th we will be having our 3rd Chickenstock and if you click on the link in my signature line you will find all the pertinent information.
