Smoked Chicken...

Well we have 11 chickens and no eggs, I finally decided that a light might be helpful.  I placed a screw at the top of the roof support and hooked the light on.  Turned it on, easy peasy, RIGHT.
Wrong, I guess the chickens roosting like shown in the above picture get a little to close to the light and somehow unhook it and even with metal protection guides that surround the light bulb, when it falls I guess those push out of the way.  When I came home something didn't look right with the light in the coop so I walked over towards the coop to find the light nestled in a beautiful pile of smoking straw.  When I grabbed the light from the smoking roost and patted down the smoking straw, this is what I found.
 This is the hole in my chicken coop! The poor things they must have been terrified, and the smell probably brought animals from miles around wanting some CHICKEN DINNER!
 Jacob just built a fire for us... he used wet wood. Now we have 5 smoked Rowsers and 11 smoked chickens! :)
