Paula you were out on Leap Day when I came by. Glenn and his parents helped me with a project I had told you about. My flock of six hens had one lil scrawny hen that had started to cluck and stay in the nest box. So I got a half dozen of your fresh eggs and placed them under her. This morning I heard chirping sounds!! I peeped in and saw the most amazing and precious sight I could see…..Lil ONES!!! I’ll bring pictures soon.

Hi, I just visited your farm on the AIA tour and just got a wonderful vibe from being there. Your spread is very impressive and your house is splendid. Your docent mentioned that you do wine dinners and I am wondering if you have one scheduled this month for Oct 22 or 23 which happens to be my husband’s birthday. If you are, and have any openings, please contact me! Thanx…

Thank you so much! It’s been so long since we’ve had rain, I forgot about that possibility. I can see my design will need a little tweaking… (although the BSFs have come! very exciting!)

Make sure it can’t rain in the unit. Water will build up and cause anaerobic conditions that can collapse your unit. Your best tool to measure the health of your unit: your nose. If it smells I wouldn’t feed to chickens.
