We keep Malaysian Serama chickens. They are small and easy to keep.
They don't scratch up your garden or make a massive mess so they're great for small holdings and town gardens etc.
I allow mine to wander freely during daylight hours; letting them out when I get up of a morning and shut them away after dark.
During the bulk of the year when the weather isn't too cold we get up to three eggs per day from four hens.
I feed them on whatever I can sweep up from local farms! Wheat,barley,maize,linseed and all manor of other seeds.
I also find that one feed a day is enough for free range chickens. After all we want them to seek out and eat bugs etc
