Free-range flock based in garage I watch forage in morning. Yesterday, late in the day they found the mother load of frost killed insects along fence row with concentration of fallen leaves. This morning they ignored typical path and took beeline to that location. In coming weeks I will play around and see just what they can remember and possibly what is worth remembering. Hen with dependent juvenile offspring was the leader rather that the harem master. Hen clucking to offspring pushing 10 weeks which is more than average and approaching the maximum duration.
