Our chicks got here yesterday, so it's been an exciting week!

Your girls are very cute! Good to see some others. If you haven't found it already, i would suggest looking up the Camelid Dynamics website. There is more information there than you could ever need, but it is not really a social group, just for information.

I don't feed my dogs raw meat, I cook it first, but a dog is supposed to eat 2% of their body weight in food every day. I feed my dogs Merrick kibble and supplement with cooked down chicken bones and whatever we don't eat off the whole chicken. First I make broth with the chicken carcass and...
