I have noticed some undesirable habits in the chicken yard lately and wanted to remind you of the rules and procedures of Miller Farm.
<ol>
	<li> Do not peck at my hand when I am getting eggs.  I know my hand has been cold these last two weeks, and I am sure it is uncomfortable for your warm underside. However, this is the hand that feeds you.</li>
	<li>While we are on the topic of feeding, remember I feed you – you feed me.  That’s the way it goes.  I do my job every day when I give you food and you are to do your job by laying eggs.  And please leave the shells intact. I prefer to crack them myself so do not do it for me.</li>
	<li>Do not poop on my head when I am in the coop and you are perched up high.  The screaming and flailing that would ensue would be unpleasant for everyone concerned.</li>
	<li>A note to the roosters:  Be quiet or be dinner.  Do you remember the three noisy guys that disappeared last month?</li>
	<li>Do not fly over the fence in any direction.  The grass may appear greener, but the dangers are greater. Bella is just waiting for someone to come “play” with her.</li>
</ol>
We have done our best during the last few months to protect you from chicken-eating possums and deadly hawks.  We only ask that you follow these simple rules.

Thank you,
