Look what I found!

Joe, it is nice to have chickens or chooks as we call them but that coop is fine for laying eggs and sleeping in but far too small to spend their lives in. As a very young child living in a major city in England I was evacuated to the country to escape the nightly German bombing, and where I stayed there was a very large area fenced off with chicken wire where the hens could run around all day, just going into the coop to lay their eggs and sleep. I enjoyed mixing the mash and taking it to them each day. So Joe, my advice is to take notice of your wife and give it a miss!
