    Baby chicks and meds

    I am going to get some chickens next year and they will be free ranging. I will coop them up at night. If I decide to hatch some eggs do they babies need any meds/vaccinations if they will be free range? I am trying to figure everything out before I actually get chickens. Thanks.

    Newbie question regarding free range...

    I am thinking of getting some chickens. I have about a 1.5 acres yard I mow and about a 15-20 acres hayfield that gets cut 1 or 2 times a year. If I let my chickens free range will I need to feed them anything else or will they find all the food they need? Thanks.
