I have 3 hens in an 'Eglu' and run in a small back garden . I let them roam for much of the day, though not when my Welsh Terrier is out as they are not friends! They are wonderful but my lawn has taken a hammering over the winter.Not sure what I will find when the snow goes. I have bought a 'Veg table' - Its like a manger two meters long -for this spring for the tender veg I don't want eaten by the girls. By the way I'm feeding them a mash of oats and pellets made with hot water in this cold weather and they are still laying well.
I just recently got 4 baby chicks for my 18 month old daughter. The Chicks are now 4 weeks old, and growing fast. I've also found them to get in the way a little when your trying to work in the veggie patch but still... they are great pets. Just gotta try find a way to stop them getting at my veggies before I do.
no 10 why on earth would you want hens when you know you have foxes and that you actually feed them its just chicken suicide enforced by selfish humans i have chickens and what you are suggesting is cruel and sickening chickens have a right to a quality of life as well as foxes and the two just dont mix!
