Hard telling what happened to your chickens -

I had an asparagus cutter.
I let them fern out around July every year. The last year I cut it down too early probably, and I was way over my water rations. Also developed a grub problem. I was bummed. I had about $300 invested in the bed.
Chickens are fine and living the high life on 4 acres in Morgan Hill. Found them a great home.
