		<description><![CDATA[In all the issues of this newsletter, we&#8217;ve never discussed culling in any detail. Lately I&#8217;ve been receiving about 1 question per week from people who wonder if it&#8217;s time to say good-bye to a particular animal for one reason or another.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We are new to keeping chickens and I have a question; is it safe for me to interact with my chickens when I am pregnant? We think we have 5 hens, none of them are crowing anyway. They are 14 weeks old and I&#8217;ve really enjoyed taking care of our little flock. We were very [...]]]></description>

I have not yet made perches or nesting boxes for them in their coop! Could that be the reason? Where can I find input about how and where in the coop, to build [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Hi Wendy, Thank you for your postings &#8211; I have learned a lot of things from them. My question, is it OK to have a hen house with no windows. I have 10 rescued factory chickens in a run with an &#8220;A-frame&#8221; hen house with a flap door about 12&#8243; square. There are no other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Thank you for your newsletter, it&#8217;s very helpful. I have set up three nesting boxes at the side of the chicken coop. However, my six chickens insist on using them as a loo i.e. pooping in them all the time. Any suggestions?&#8221; ~  Chrissie
