Play a little Mozart or Bach for them and I think you will get a lot more eggs. I think chickens like classical music. Play a little Mozart or Bach for them and I think you will get a lot more eggs.

I only have 7 hens right now, so I can't afford to risk losing any. I won't free-range until I know I can free-range and still not lose my whole flock in an unfortunate incident.

As soon as I have enough chickens, I can start free-ranging. How many chickens do you need to free-range, and why? You said:

I voted for him, but I don't know if he would appreciate having a mean old stubborn rooster with his namesake. Is the comb blackened from injury or frostbite? When I was little, we had bunch that it affected the way they walked and they forgot how to eat. They died soon after, but They just weren't right after getting their comb frostbit so bad.
