I've got a new place in Orchidland and I'll be there off and on, probably with a renter when I'm not there. I'm thinking of getting a few chickens to roam around at will, with a little hutch for them to return to at night and hopefully lay some eggs. What are the pros and cons of this approach? It seems I wouldn't need to feed them or really do anything if they're free range. But are there downsides I don't know about?
