I wish I could let them free range but they eat my plants, they love brunnera foliage. They also scratch up the flower beds and "mess" on my drive-way so I only let them out for a few minutes in the evening while I gather the eggs, fill the feeder, and give them clean water. Then I holler "chick, chick, chick", and throw a little soaked bread into the coop. They love the bread and rush into the coop and I lock them up til the next day. Think I will make an omelette for breakfast with some of yesterdays eggs.
