    Scared chickens?

    We have a solar operated automatic coop door that has been awesome. However since the time has been changing we forgot to reset it to close a little earlier. Unfortunately a Possum got in there and killed 2 of our hens! Evil big rats! They chew the heads off and leave em for dead. Looked like a...

    Heard the egg song for the first time :)

    I'm a newbie!
