I want a couple but we have feral cats who are fed 3 square meals daily ( not my hobby). Plus I don’t think I have time. Scraps I have a ton daily!And, they are the best “garbage disposals”, turning kitchen scraps into eggs! During lockdown I was still eating scrambled, hard boiled, fried, frittata, omelette, baked goods...

Once upon a time it was all grass in the run, now I spread pine bark nuggets a few times a year for their feet and for drainage. Their greens are thrown in by the handful, or consumed when they are out of the run for free ranging under supervision...hawks looooove the thermals over my 1/2 acreI love the dirt run! Luckily ladies.
Congrats on your flock
Chickens are absolutely wonderful.
It looks like fun for them! Kicking in the pine chips and taking dirt baths.

They certainly are beautiful ladies!I just love how Violet, Poppy, and Rose are thrilled with handfuls of clover, dandelion greens and purple nettle

They do really seem to like it...and, I love hearing them scratch around in it while I’m sitting on the deck aboveIt looks like fun for them! Kicking in the pine chips and taking dirt baths. It is perfect
Hawks are def something to be on the lookout for. My hens are on the smaller side so I understand. My hen, Starlight, also has fairly sever scoliosis which makes it more difficult for her to do some head rotation. However she generally gets on well for her condition.
