Unfortunately, because half the neighbors on my road insist of having loose dogs,
I can't free range my chickens. But they do have a nice big run, and it's fun to watch them all RUSH to the closest end to me when I come outside. Or if I pass them and go to the other side of the yard, they all go to that end. It's cute. It's nice to be loved, even if it is purely conditional love based on the expectation of treats.
