[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1405532, member: 1715"] We brought home about 20 production red hens that had been keep in a closed barn, and set them up in an open top pen in the hay shed. All were dead the next morning. They had piled up in a corner and gotten ripped one by one. Sick... Set a trap and caught the dirty bird that night. Then we brought home a batch of free range rescue hens. They roost 16' up in the hay shed rafters and no one has ever bothered them. They run with the bulls, raise a couple small clutchs per year, and maintain their numbers. Some chickens have a lot more situational awareness than others. [/QUOTE]
