    Hello from Maine!

    We experienced some expansion/contraction and the fastener was compromised. We had been blocking with 5-lb cinderblock. Also, fishers here in Maine need streams and the nearest stream is 2 blocks away and (fool me!) it was figured it would be fine. Well, they have hands! and are strong...and I...

LoveLoveLove these chickens - great producers (5 girls, sometimes 6-7 eggs daily?? and lots of double-yolkers) and really fun personalities. Love...
