Conversations with Animal Farmers
By Jessie - 28 Dec 2012

They are not free range.  They have  a large house with about 4-5 square feet per hen.   I cannot free range due to predators.   I keep my hens until they die naturally.  I have a separate house for those that are not laying as seriously as the rest of the flock.    

I get so attached to all my birds I cry when one dies.  Sorry, that is the way I was raised.
