    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    Thanks, Bee, for the suggestion not to feed on the ground in the run. I read somewhere about making them work a bit for their food, but Iagree the location might be bad. Also, Iwill experiment with feeding less. When I gave it all together, they picked out the whole vrains.
