    roaming chickens

    I have never had a problem with my hens jumping the fence. They will run back into their pen if they feel threatened. They don't even venture very far from the pen and will go into the hen house to lay eggs and then back out to play.

    newbie

    They can begin laying as soon as 16 weeks. Never expect an egg a day and you will be satisfied. I have 7 hens and average 4 eggs a day but not everyday. Chickens are easy to please. Keep them happy and healthy and you will enjoy your experience.

    why would you get chickens?

    I have always wanted chickens. I didn't convince my family until I was so old it is hard work for me now. I love every minute of it! I have seven hens and will be getting a couple more soon. I love watching them interact with each other and me. One of Gods creations, the chicken!

    Help! Chicken's haven't started laying eggs! Several questions.

    My EEs did the same thing and each night we would go out and put them on the roost in the hen house. After three nights when they say us coming they would run in by themselves and get up on the roost. Two of my EEs laid their first eggs at 26 weeks and the third laid on 28th week. I think you...
