I'am the most haphazard flock tender. They get food and water everyday and run around loose.
I have 2 roosters and 5 hens, the one rooster has only 2 tail feathers a split in his comb from fighting the other. I thought buddy you got to stick up for yourself or your spaghetti sauce. Till I saw the other rooster squared off with my 110lb American Bulldog, he is a tough bird. (I got a pic of that I will try to post it up)
Anyway the hens are giving me eggs everyday, I might get around to building nest boxes before it snows.. Right now I rather enjoy my daily easter egg hunts, have found 7 places where they lay.
Yesterday I'm standing there with 4 eggs in my hands, thinking, this is just a great blessing and joy. I have the wood to build a real coop (soon, it's on the list)
I started giving a little oyster shell yesterday.
When I have all 7 birds on a 4x8 sheet of plywood surrounded by 4 bulldogs it is a sight to make ya smile :)
