    Hello from Maine!

    Thanks for including me - live in coastal Rockland, Maine. Sadly, we lost our little flock (6 girls) in late autumn to a fisher - nasty! First time such a disaster. We'd been raising since 2012. Our New Hampshire Reds were by far the sweetest and most fun/productive gals. Miss 'em awful...
