Ok. It's in an area with an electric fence and the coop is on wheels. They would let them free range and every few weeks move the fence and trailer to another piece of pasture. Do they not go into the coop at night themselves?
And tell me about laying mash. Also, with a dozen chickens how many eggs can I expect and how often. I'm excited about getting this but afraid ill frick it up and they will all die.

couldn't be easier
Go to the feed store and get a big bag of layena or whatever they have, it comes as mash or pellets
Get a big self feeder and a self waterer. Let them range during the day and make sure they are put up at night
you will lose some, it's inevitable
everything eats chickens

if theyve been cooped before you got them, they should.
layin mash helps w egg production.
a dozen hens should lay 6-18 a day. ave one aday per
make sure predators arent harassing them at night.
even if they cant get to them the stress will stop egg production.
heres a site to get some basic info
