I have been reading what everybody does with their chickens and am feeling a little inadequate. The following is what I do for my chickens. What else, if anything, should I be doing?
-Make sure food and water is always full
-Supply treats/table scraps
-Talk to them
-Collect eggs
-Clean coop once per month ( I haven't done this yet, as I have only had them for 1 week, but plan to clean once per month)
-Let them out each day to "play"
Of course I watch them take their mud baths, chase each other, lay out in the sun, etc. but really the above is what I do. I have been reading about treating them with pesticides, dusting them, cleaning run (I thought I only had to clean coop), etc. What is good for my hens?
