I won’t be surprised if this spring’s price hasn’t doubled.
It’s probably time to make the chicken yard bigger and increase the size of Mrs. Augie’s flock.

How are the perch doing?
(I think that Chinese balloon is probably floating over you right about now....They saw it in Pleasant Hill up near KC earlier in the day!)
