[Jacob-list] sheep, goats & chickens

[Jim Millar]

Hello all,
During the winter my chickens chose to roost right above the sheep. The
uninvited pigeons joined this slumber party.  You can imagine the fleeces.
Now I have my chickens in a moveable "eggmobile". Ah, the trials of
animals.... Pam Millar, ZuZu's Petals
