Four Chicken Yard Projects - Reduce Stress, Reduce Feed Budget, and Improve Security
I spent the day thinking about chickens. Most days, Chickens require very little direct attention. In the early morning, I open the coups to let them out for the day, scatter some scratch grains around to give them a kick start, refill water containers, top off the feeding tubes, and then close the coups at night. The chickens do their part to reduce bug populations, improve garden soil, and provide eggs. Today, they need extra attention to reduce the rooster pressure on the hens, add a protein source to the pasture, minimize feed waste, and increase predator safety.
