    WOW Hope the tree has been removed. Hopefully you have good insurance. I used to have two trees on each end our house. The one on the East side of the house fell in a big wind storm away from the house. The tree on the west side was removed. No trees next to the house any more. TOM

    I think those would work great. Just have to be real careful with the electrical layout. I know you have or had an electrician at your place. Show him what you would like to do. I have 50' extention cords running all over my back yard "not good". I have a lot more stress with the 100 degrees...

    Sorry to hear about your storm troubles. We watched the same storm but it stayed East of our place. Wind only made about 30 to 35 MPH We had an all day rain on Sunday and that is great for my side of the mountains. Hope all your baby chics grow up to be healthy hens. I have 30 eggs in INC today.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I would think the cock in the cage wing carriage is correct? My two cock birds wing hang to the thigh, thought maybe a genetic trait. May not breed out?? TOM
