On the way home from our staff meeting, I stopped at Rural King. Guess what cute feathery little fluffballs I found? Yep! Chicks!!! There were just a few bins of them, but they were all pullets. Farming tip: Let your local store know your name and number in case they can't sell the chicks they … Continue reading Rural King has chicks!

She … Continue reading Tucker the helpful teacher

I asked her if I could have some of them once she was finished for the … Continue reading LOOK what we got for the asking!
