- artificialLimbs 4y agoNot in the winter.
- IgorPartola 4y agoThey eat so much that I don’t think you could. In the wild, a chicken lays an egg every few months to once a year. Domesticated laying hens lay an egg a day or so. Imagine how much energy it takes to convert bugs into a 60 gram egg.
- voisin 4y agoYes. It is always a good idea to rotate them over different areas to give the land a chance to repopulate (and their excrement helps attract bugs in the meantime). A lot of people have a coop that has two doors on opposite sides to different runs for this purpose.
