I have at least 5 different breeds. 1 Rooster and 6 hens.
Chickens are relatively easy, just provide food and shelter and they pretty much take care of them selves. Only one lays eggs, but it's hard to beat farm fresh eggs- my other hens should be laying soon.
So, on with my chicken drama. Well, one very cool thing about chickens is that they pretty much put themselves to bed. My older chickens every evening around dust will go into their coop for the night. Now the other chickens, primarily 3 roost on the top ledge of the door to their coop. I hate this because they can see into the alley and the cats can see them, they are actually even with the top of the fence when they do roost.
Well last night we came home rather late and pulling into the drive way was one of my hens, sitting I might add, by one of the cars. I figure she must have flew off of the perch into the alley and somehow made it to the drive way. Looking in the back yard, my 2 older chickens and one of the younger hens were in their coop, while the other 3 were no where to be seen. After much inspection we found them hundled in the corner perching on one of the lawn chairs in the corner of the porch.
