I feed them every morning - chicken treets and water. I also give them porridge, rice, brown bread, pasta, bacon rind, lettuce and fruit. They like crisps, cream craekers, cheese and biscuits for a treet.
I collect the eggs every day.
I clean the hen house every week. The hens get fresh straw every week.
If the hens don't want to go in the hen house, there may be mites in the hen house.
We let them out after the post man comes - about 12:00 pm - and they run in the field and they scratch around for bugs. They come in by themselves and before it gets dark I check to see if they are in the hen house and shut the doors to protect them from the foxes.
