"They have already ganged up on him and so far he has not shown anymore interest, lol. They are a gang of thugs! Taking over a portion of his yard and now his house!"
"Good thing the the cat was either not home or smaller than your girls!"
"Next time I will try a single wing also, but they are little escape artists! One of my girls decided our nesting boxes were not good enough to lay her first egg in so she escaped and laid it in the more luxurious cathouse! Thank goodness escaping…"

"Please add us to the spreadsheet. Mark and Kelly Stephens, vicinity of 24th Street and Osborn Road in central Phoenix. We have 4 hens, 2 dogs and 1 cat."
"What breed are your chickens? Some breeds tend to want to roost higher than others. Typically heavier breeds (plymouth rocks, orpingtons, etc.) want a lower roost than do lighter weight ones (leghorns)."
"I also think this is a great idea! We have 2 dogs, a cat and now 4 chicks (8 weeks old). We've swapped pet care with a neighbor for years and they plan to have chickens "soon" so I will be sure to share this great idea with them if it is…"
"Definitely helps, thanks!"
