So you have your hens and you have a home for them, protected from foxes and badgers. But they want to come into the rest of the garden, what to do?
Letting your hens roam around is not a necessity, but they will certainly thank you for it. Apart from that, they are great entertainment and will follow you around to see what you are doing.
Points to remember, just make sure your garden is secure, they will get out if they can! Also remember to keep a shovel handy!! Also, by personal experience, if you go out, put them away. The fox will know you are at the shops!
