Hi! I'm from Bflo NY area and my husband and I just got our first Sex Link Pullets yesterday (10 of them). We've never had chickens before but we did do our homework. However, there's nothing like the real lesson of actually been through it. Any suggestions and tips are welcome!
One of my concerns is letting them roam on our land. We have almost 8 acres and have horses. Are there any suggestions you have to help with "training" them to stay in an area and not go near the road? If it's safest to just have them in a fenced pen, we'll do that, but I see so many of my neighbors let their chickens roam around and I never see them get hit. I know the chickens would be happier and it will help us with bugs/flies.
Thanks!
