My wife treats our chickens and ducks like pets, they eat well.

Due to attrition we're down to two hens and two ducks, one is a male though.

They free ranged until three were killed in a short period of time.

We get four eggs every day, its hard to eat that many, when we had more chickens it was hard to give enough away.

It gets below 0F here, I only turn the light on at night if its going to be below the mid teens. At 10F the chickens start roosting inside the coop, the rest of the time they roost outside.

The ducks like it inside all year.
