- just entered a giveaway at Mother Earth News to win a chicken coop
 - well, entered 2 contests for chicken coops
 - one is neat, the other one looks a bit odd
 - but they're free for the entering, so who cares?
 - husband is skittish to build one
 - go figure
 - he can build amazing things, but show him screen wire, wood and roofing and he's a bit befuddled
 - the negative at one contest is that they supply the winner with chicks
 - oh my
 - in our city, you can legally have 6 chickens
 - we have five
 - see, sounding like i'm actually going to win
 - well, we're all entering in this house, and since the least one is the only one without an email address, we're entering 9 times
 - should be enough, yes?
 - would be so cool
 - we keep having to bring home larger and larger cardboard boxes
 - would be convenient if chickens were like fish, who only grow large enough to fit their aquarium
 - least that's what i've heard
 - at the rate these birds are growing, i'm hoping the coop contest ends soon!
 - gary's not going to have an option, but to build
 - but as he says, it's like the cobbler's children who go without shoes
 - after a day of making sawdust at the shop, making the same here loses its appeal
 - enjoy your day :)
