I love my hens in my garden, especially as I garden, they are close by. It is an individual thing. Thanks for your great comment...VintageGardenGal Maybelline, there is “give and take” when it comes to chickens in the garden. I love my hens in my garden, especially as I garden, they are close by.

Best to put comfy bedding in nesting boxes for your hens comfort. Thanks for your comment...VintageGardenGal Char, wire bottoms on nesting area might mean broken eggs, dirty eggs.

I just got my first two eggs and we are building a coop. Thanks for having a free site with great directions. What about chicken wire bottoms on nesting area. I like the idea of washing down everything. Goodness they do do-do a lot. Send bessing to my chickens. Char star HI Real People,

I have a walking stick which is something I use to go up and down our mountain. Our girls have gotten used to seeing me with the stick when we walk around the mountain. When I move it back and forth in front of me they all get in front of me and race towards their coop, and they know its time to go back inside. They are so funny to watch.

I get them to back to the coup by holding up a treat (usually flowering broccoli) that they only get when it's time to go inside for the night. So far it works and most nights they race past me to get to the coup and wait for their treat.
