We have a farm swap twice a month at the Dunnellon TSC. We have had it for over 10 years now. If you ever get over to our area, stop in and say hello

Of course I know that because they only free range in the fenced in area which is about 10 acres. But when I accidentally leave a gate open you can guarantee that they will find it and try to investigate.I hope you know they won’t roam that whole 22 acres. We have 35 acres and the other day, one chicken ventured to the barn for the first time ever....about 500 yards. They are a creature of habit and I’ve found like to stick around each other...at least here. I’m happy with that. I don’t want them off too far...predators...plus, what if they can’t find their way back? I keep water in and out of the coop. On nice days I move the feed outside. On yucky days I keep feed in and outside...to encourage them to come out, but they don’t have to. I keep oyster and grit in the coop. My eggs are tough as nails. This is a picture of the chicken that roamed the other day. Had a hard time showing her the way back!!View attachment 2043455
