Chickens Daily Routine

Daily Care

While chickens don't require a lot of special attention, they do require a daily care routine. Most people who keep chickens, however, regard this as being a pleasure rather than a time imposition. People soon get to know their chickens with their unique personalities and looking after them can be a fun activity as well as an environmentally rewarding one.

Chickens need a daily routine of feeding, the collection of their eggs, shutting them away at night and letting them out in the morning.

Other Regular Care

Chicken runs require regular cleaning. This is essential and will help to keep the chickens healthy. Chicken waste can be used as a fertilizer and is often highly appreciated by gardening friends. Chickens also need to be regularly checked for diseases or parasites such as mites.
