The Continued Adventures in Backyard Chicken Ownership...

Yesterday Josh walks into our office and says what no chicken owner wants to hear: “We’re missing a chicken.” Ummmm WHAT?!?! How are we missing a chicken?! I mean, last fall I saw a hawk hanging around our backyard cuz he was looking for a chicken dinner, but that was because our dog was in [...]
