I hope Trueman is home disturbing the flock soon! Best wishes to your family!

So, do your chickens not leave a bunch of droppings under their roost? Seems like most domestic birds leave lots of droppings under the roost, and I'm wondering if yours have self-selected against this over the years.

OK, good. Don't wish to offend anyone. The low level of chattiness keeps my interest as well. Otherwise it like you are talking to yourself. True. Will try and keep that in mind.
