Do you keep your chickens locked in coop while at work

[mamagardener]

I leave mine in until around 2:00 in the afternoon when I get home from work, then I let them free range the rest of the day. I don't have any roos though.

He has a big fence around the coop. Said he can't free range because of their dog, so the chickens stay in the fence when they let them out of the coop.

I told him I want to visit, they said..."Oh yes, anytime". But no formal invitation. I told him I had some wormer, he wants to come over and get it. I should say, "Well, how about I go over there?"

I really think he's embarrassed because they may live in a trailer. His young son kinda mentioned something.

Well so what? We lived in a trailer for years....nothing wrong with that! Geez...
