    Egg Laying with Truly Free Ranging Hens

    I free range our chickens. They had always laid their eggs in the nesting boxes from day. It was like they knew where to lay them. We open the coop at daybreak and close it up after dark most of the time due to our work schedule. We are getting an egg a day from our hens but once in a while...

    I have 50+ barred rocks. They are Free Range. I lock them up at night after the roosters make sure all hens are in. The Hens are very calm. The roos are 1.5 years old and are calm and aggressive. If I pick up a hen and she makes a crying noise then I will have all 4 Roos looking to lay down...

    Texas Natural Feeds

    Some chickens like certain food. I have 3 hens and 2 roos that won't touch watermelon. The others go to town on it!

    I use their scratch and have no issues. I also use 350-400 lbs/ month of the layer pellets per month. My hens are free range and I only give them feed when they roost and none in the morning.

    Texas Natural Feeds

    I started my chicks on Texas Natural feeds last June. This is the only feed that I buy. I have bought probably 40 bags since then. I even use them on my ducks. I haven't seen any problems. I also use their scratch.

    Best chicken for the apocalypse?

    Here in NE Texas I raise Barred Rocks. They handle the Texas heat with no problems as long as they have shade. This winter we hit a few 17 degree nights.
