Catty Catty Catty
Good thing this is just a novel, but give it 2 days those chicken will pluck and eat the living of those crops. They'll also dig every corner of your farm. Chickens like to move and scavenge for food. As long as you feed them at fixed time and let them be 80% full. Give them also some high place to relax like birds on tree branches. Well anything goes in here
