Feeding the large free range flock (pictures)

[Eastins Eggs]

Feeding a large flock is work but it can also be amusing.

We know where you keep the food

Have to put food out so I can get to the feed bin.

Food food more food.

WOW!!!!! How many do you have? So jealous

They are fairly docile so getting scratched is usually not a problem. We have around 1600 to 1800 hens at any one time. We don’t raise meat birds at this time.

Land sake's, that's a lot of birds! I thought my mob of 40 was big....

On how much land? Do you have coops or do they all stay out? I am so jealous. Sending my husband a connection to this thread. Should scare him as I always seem to add one or two each month when he is gone.

We have about 20 acres that consist of pasture and rocky un farmable land. We have several coops that range in size from 30x40 to 8x12.

Wow! That's a lot of chickens! Finally, the true meaning of 'free range'. No cages! Yeah!
