Letting chickens outside

Here are my babies

Such a snuggly bunch! Spending time with my chickens is one of my favorite things

Couldn’t agree more! Any input on the issue?

One more question everyone, how do I get my chickens to sit in my lap outside? They always are so eager to go explore, I assume it’s just their nature, but anything I’m doing wrong?

That’s looks awesome! One question though, how much square feet and is it easy to break down and set up? I don’t know if my parents will be okay with more chicken stuff in our yard :/

Yes, it is easy to break down and set up if you follow the directions. One person can do it. The square footage depends on which length you buy. The 82' one will create a pen that is 420 square feet (if my math is correct).

Premier1 also sells smaller poultry fences that are not meant to be electrified:

My chickens break their neck to meet me when I go outside but the minute I try to catch one its on like Donkey Kong! If you want to make pets out of them it requires time and patience
