I have a big open back yard near the capitol. The yard was hard packed dirt with glass and garbage mixed in when I got here. I have been working on raking and sifting, and now planting some trees, grass, shrubs. I just want two to four hens at once, free roaming in the yard, but with a coop for them to roost in. What's a good way to get started on this? Is there something I can plant in the yard for them to eat, in advance of getting chickens?
Tenacity - I've had chickens for years and built 4 different coops but I never thought of using window screen. I'm getting ready to redo my current coop and I'm going to use your idea. That is an excellent idea! Thanks
