Looks great so far, Dogfish. You're pulling out all the stops! Those chickens will be roosting in style.

You couldn't possibly do worse than my neighbor; his chickens can often be found eating birdseed in my front yard. Some of them have some nice looking capes, so I warned him he'd better not tempt me too many times, lest they end up on fish hooks of all shapes and sizes. He didn't think that was too funny, but I think I inspired him to make some repairs, because I haven't seen them around as much lately.
