In this week's episode, we revisit one of our favorite breeds, the beautiful, huggable Cochin! We discuss common vitamin and mineral deficiencies in chickens and ways you can treat and prevent them. We also share our recipe for black bean burgers and offer options for coop and run toys to prevent winter boredom.
