[QUOTE="silver, post: 311439, member: 1953"] Let them into the yard about 1/2 hour before they go to roost at night, they will run around and eat all the bugs then put themselves to bed ,..... they'll also shift any mulch from your garden to your lawn, and, if you forget to go shut their pen once they've gone to bed, they'll be $h!t!ng on your back patio as a greeting in the morning. Tell them what food you are giving them too, and listen to them learn to talk over time (probly best from chickens for that). :D They like getting talked to if they are in the yard with you or the kids, they'll hang around for a while, n they'll be happy to be picked up n cuddled by the kids eventually, just teach them to beware of eye safety with beaks kept away from faces, never seen anyone get pecked but all chocks are different, n you never can tell ,.... you can't just go get a new eye. :) [/QUOTE]
