    Converting Chickens that Live in a Run to Free Range? And Vice Versa?

    struggling to contain my free range hens

    so I have 4 free range hens. I live on a street in a mainly rural area, but on a street with neighbours. Our run is big enough for our hens but not huge or anything.

    Freeranging unsupervised?

    I have a flock of chickens that already ate the grass in their run. I let them graze in my backyard, only when I watch them. Usually it is for an hour or so. I do have two roosters who do protect the hens. I just don't want something eating them!

    Primal Chickens – 6 chicken keeping secrets from the evolution of chickens

    When I got started with backyard chickens, I was excited by the idea of fresh eggs every day and I had this romantic idea of chickens pecking around contently in my garden. But the reality was very different. They trashed more veggie gardens than I would like to remember, turned the chicken run...

    Hi! I’m a proud mother of 5 chickens and a rooster. We moved onto 5 acres 2 yrs ago and got 5 grown chickens from a friend. We decided to see how they would do letting them free range but they always end up at my neighbors house. These neighbors used to have chickens and we are friendly with...

    I have a question.

    I have a question...yesterday or the night before I introduced 2 new chickens (silkies) to the flock the way Justin Rhodes said to do it, by putting them in at night, and the chickens think they’ve always been there.

    Antisocial chicken?

    I have 6 hens, 4 isa browns, 1 buff orpington, and 1 black sex link. They are approximately 15-16 weeks old. One of the isa browns seems to be antisocial? Whenever we free range them, they are always all together, except for that one hen. She goes off and finds bugs on her own. She's a little...
