My chicken forage boxes (for inside the run)

[Rancid Crbtree]

We would like to free range the chickens in the summer but the eagles, hawks, coyotes, foxes, weasels, etc means we would likely suffer some losses in the flock.

If I cant let them get to the outside salad bar, I will bring a salad bar to them in the run. If these two boxes are a success, I will build more as the material cost to build one is about $8.

This is ingenious. You need to convert this to an article. Here's the link:

If you use that picture from elsewhere in your article, just be sure to give the credit to them.

Here is an update.

Our 24 chickens are in the run now. They love the greenery in the forage boxes I built. Clearly, I will need to increase the amount of greens I will supply them.

My indoor grown fodder system is currently in progress and will be ready to start feeding them tomorrow.
