For those of you who have been PT Testers for a while, what equipment/PPE do you like/dislike? I'd really like to build a table like they use at Cackle (see this video: ). The table is mostly for myself, I have a lot of birds and only one of me. But since it appears I might be one of the few...

So I was planning to write up one of those panicked "my chicken is missing!!!!" posts but never got around to it. Two nights ago, when trying to count my tree chickens, one was missing. She wasn't in the coop either. She wasn't there last night either, but I swear I saw her when I was giving...
