Prepare right sort of food for you chicken breed. You don’t want to make mistakes here. Some chicken food is full of calcium which is needed for egg laying hybrids. Other is full of other nutritional elements that make chickens grow really fast.
Let your chickens socialize. They are social beings, just like us. So, don’t keep them locked all the time. Try to have them “hang out” and be in a group. Try not to have less then dozen of chickens at all times. That way, you will make sure that your chickens are happy as well.
