they are fully feathered, i was wanting to know if it would be ok to put them in a wire floored cage for 2 weeks. then let them on the floor of the regular chicken coop. i have limited space now, but am culling a few. where i usually raise them has been destored by weather. i raise them for eggs, and they are all free range. thanks mike

i went out to the coop today to feed my chickens and gather eggs. i had a hen sitting were most of the hens lay. i reached under her to check for eggs. she raised her butt as i did this. as i did this i felt something on the back of my hand. i looked closer and saw an egg coming out of her! i flipped my hand over and waited. in about a minute an egg landed in my hand! it was amazing! raised chickens for 11 years and never saw this before! well i thought it was cool and thought i would share it with you all!

i know they like seeds, nuts, veggies, gnaw on wood ... but would cracked corn,if its the size of there normal seed feed, be harmful to them. and would i need to add grit to there diet?
