It's not the heat, it's the humidity
Sometimes I look forward to going to bed at night because I know that when I wake up, I get coffee.
Awesome ends in "me." Coincidence? I think not.
Coffee made me do it.
You're speaking to me before I've had my coffee? Do you always live dangerously?
Who's yer DADDY?!
Always be kinder than necessary.
I'M UP!
We understand you have our sister's lunch money.

Tell me how and how often to use these in a new, young flock of 13 weeks to 5 weeks old. We are also new at raising chickens and are reading your posts and old blogs like crazy to make sure we are doing everything right. And, of course, you know that the first time through we won't.

Thank you for all your info!!!!!
