Four hens
In a coop/run combo in my backyard (not a prefab)
They got about an hour earlier. They can't free range all of the time because they will go into neighbor's yards and/or the street and get hit by cars and eaten by dogs, as well as attacked by hawks.
Veggies like greens?
I don't think that we have any but we might
They do have fresh water and they got free range time earlier but don't free range full time
Love the tuna idea! Uncooked (or cooked) oatmeal, grains from cupboard and veggies in fridge, too. And/or grab a shovel and turn over the dirt for some tasty worms, delicious!
Walmart has chicken food, I don't know if it's in all their stores or if going out is an option for you. Or, canned corn, or other canned veggies with the fluid flushed off. Frozen veggies. Canned tuna. I know an experienced chicken person who treats her birds to people food, like chicken alfredo. I know a lady who routinely fed her geese, cat food. So if you have any convenience people food, or even some cooked canned chicken, canned meat, that'd round out the meal. Or some bread. I don't know about nuts so I'd avoid that though.
