About 200 yards east of the former Davies’ property at 73 Dascomb Road is an old two-story house and a couple of repurposed out buildings that look distinctly like they were originally chicken houses. There is a sign out front that says Watson Farm Estates. There is a company in New England by the name of Watson Egg Farm. I wonder if that egg business got its start on Dascomb Road in Andover and if that egg farmer’s complaint of shot falling in his chicken yard was the situation that initiated the change in the Skeet field layout?
