I used to let my sweet girls go all over. They were so happy. I had a few mishaps with predators and it really scared me. My 10 went down to 4 so I just confined them to my very large yard. I really hated all of the poop on my porches, but I knew they were happy. Then a stray dog managed to get in and it was terrible. Now we have 12 new chickens 8 RIR 4 Rocks. We bought 3 of those nice Tractor S. chicken coops and put them all together. Then we built a very nice hen house. They have a very large coop. I only let them out on weekends and if I get home from work early enough. The time change really stinks. They are safe and I think happy enough for me. They just turned 24 weeks and 2 started laying.Hey all,
I just wanted opinions on how you keep your chickens, I free range mine but was wondering what your opinions were on it. I had an accident with a weasle/mink yesterday and I'm weighing my options if I should turn to a run rather than free range. What are your thoughts?
