I want my chickens happy. I free range when I get home from work. I lost one pullet out of run to hawk so I covered run. Big risk free ranging but it makes them so happy. At night they are locked in coop which is a van.
I feed them pellets. For treats they get scratch, grapes, tomatoes,watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, strawberries, mealworms, crickets, about anything. They love it!
