In April 2023, after much research, we started our backyard chicken journey. We got 9 sexed baby chicks and 1 pair of straight-run baby chicks in what I called a "happy meal" box. What ensued was totally unexpected. We discovered just how ridiculous (and therapeutic) chickens are and just had to share their shenanigans with others.
