Entering for the incubator led me to your site. It’s awesome! It’s always great to find a kindred spirit with the love for chickens. I have chickens, ducks, guineas, pigs and an old goat. Life is full of antics and love. Never short on stories around here. Your bumble foot info was informative. We’ve been doing surgeries also and it’s an amazing process, Thanks for a wonderful and informational site!

I have so enjoyed your articles. My husband and I are moving to the country and I can’t wait to get started! I told my family that they could each name one of the girls! Our farm has an old 160 ft chicken coop they used back in the day to probably supply the whole county. I think we’ll start with a few clicks and go from there!
