Hi aunt Sally. Yes they do free range in about 20x100 ft , fully fenced, we cannot find any new nests. Even so, we shoud be getting 12 eggs from the pullits shoud we not . Now their crowns are not as red as they shoud be, would this be a sign of mites. OR are they to old at 4 yrs old,is it time to say goodnight. THanks ivanhoe.
