Hey all,
As I have mentioned in my post I am here for my cousin, who is just planning to grow a few chickens in the backyard. She has started the work of brooder. The brooder is a DIY Project. She has thought to set the light about 240-270 watt lamp for the chicks. She wants to raise the chickens mainly for eggs. I’ve always seen chickens grown in the closed area. But she is thinking to have a different approach. She is thinking of letting the chickens roam around freely, rather than just caging them. She said this will ensure more immunity for the chickens as well their offspring. She has also fixed security cameras along with the alarm system monitoring for monitoring the chickens. Anyways, is there anything more or less, she needs to be doing? Also, do you think it will be okay to let the chickens roam around freely..?? Please let me know what you think about it...
