    Chickens digging big hole

    these chickens ended up digging a giant hole. All theee are just sitting in the hole. Never saw this behavior before. These specific chickens normally are not able to free range because they live most of the time someplace else without a yard. My ‘free range’ chickens have never done this.

    Chickens and grit

    I let my chickens free range for about 30 minutes. Afterwards I put them in coop run and give them vegetables. Carrot chunks, cabbage leaves, leafy greens. Do I need to also put grit in the run? I am assuming not since I assuming they get some dirt while grazing and the run has soil. Am I wrong?
