We currently have about a dozen free range hens and a couple roosters. They go outside unfenced when the sun goes up and go in when it starts to get dark. I've seen them about 1/8 of a mile out into our hay field on occasion. They eat anything and everything they can outside even in the winter.

We produce enough eggs for ourselves and then sell about 4-5 dozen a week currently. The shells are much tougher and the yokes a very rich color and very firm compared to store eggs where the yoke is often times runny. IMO they taste much better and when cooked are a much deeper color.

We butcher our older hens and roosters and vacuum seal them in the freezer. They are darker meat than store chicken and have a more gamey taste. But they are very good eating.
