I DID have three hens:

Until Sunday when I found all three huddled in a corner of the coop, stone dead. No idea why all three would have died. The weather was hot, but not as hot as we have had this summer (about 40°C.) I guess something scared them and with the heat that did for them.
The brown hens (Rhode Island Reds??) were reliable layers, the white one, a Leghorn?, took lots of holidays from laying.
With a couple of friends will build a bigger & better coop and an even bigger run.

I can only let the chooks out into the garden for limited time—I have a terrier which you can see in my avatar
