It's a Brand Spankin' New ChickAdvisor!
You're probably thinking, "What's going on? What's happening? Have I been transported into the future? What is this crazy gorgeous ChickAdvisor before me?"
We're happy to let you know that you're not in the future. It's the brand new, sleek, sophisticated and dare we say, schmexy ChickAdvisor!
We're so excited that you're here with us to witness the launch of ChickAdvisor 3.0, and after recently turning 5 years old, we must say that we absolutely love all our members! We're so glad that you're with us and we look forward to the next 5, 10, 15 and 100 years as we grow and continue to bring you brand new features!
