Chicken coop

COOP RULES

“Shut the gate” goes first because everything else is irrelevant if you get it wrong. Then it turns affectionate: names are compulsory, everyone has a favourite, the pecking order is not up to you. “The eggs are a gift, not a wage” is the line that separates keeping chickens from farming them, and “Count them at dusk” is the one that sounds sweet until you have had to.
