Glad to hear things are improving! Thank you for the update and details about the changes you made - I'm sure it will help others that face similar circumstances.

Glad it went well! LOL Chickens can be a little noisy at times. Are you allowed chickens in your neighborhood? If you feel that the neighbors might get annoyed, then you may want to give away a few eggs.
