Freida (White Silkie) is never happier than when she is raising chicks. Freida with two Olive Egger chicks.

I hope I signed up right because I sure could use a bag of chicken feed.
Love all of your pictures!
I love this feed..it is all I use and 50 pounds off the food bill would be a blessing
I don't think I would have had the patience to raise my chickens if it wasn't for your encouragement. I love following the adventures of Blaze and Rachel.
Glad I found your blog – so helpful – and my girls could use some feed! :)
