Loved this article. I don't feel so stupid now spoiling my chickens and ducks. They get lettuce and watermelon rinds for a treat in the morning and I cut grapes in half for them at night. Plus whatever is growing in the garden. They are partly free range. They have a large pen, the chicken Taj mahal, and a fenced yard. They can fly out but they like their area. Last time I had holes like they dig, it was from a husky dog I had adopted. They're my first chickens and ducks. What was I thinking? Glad I'm not alone in my craziness. 2 roos which love to wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning.
