Free Range Layers I
We recycle used tires as nests for our layers.
Here's a double decker. It can also be a triple decker, both sides, like an 'A' frame.
Hens selecting their nests for the evening lay; they can be fussy. Our flock size is 150 hens.
Sometimes several hens just want that particular nest!
Last one to lay!
This particular flock have 200 sq ft of grass field per hen. That's chicken heaven!
