We allow our heritage breed Barred Rocks to run the farm to their hearts content.  These hearty fowls provide a constant supply of brown eggs that keep our family fed most mornings.  Most days we'll find them scratching in the open field or woods finding a variety or insects to fill their stomachs.  Recently, one of the flock has decided that they prefer to live with the horse and the goats than the rest of the family and has relocated from the coop to the horse barn.
