To make way for the chicks, the bantams have been relocated and now roost in the barn and spend their day foraging wandering around scratching in the hardstanding and its verges.
We keep other stuff in the barn - food for hens and sheep, assorted gardening things, hardware ( hen feeders and water containers, plastic chairs, broody cages ) cardboard - its surprising how useful cardboard is .
The hens retreat in there when the weather is bad
And of course they lay eggs. But where ?
in the straw is the answer - they will make a nest in a secluded spot and then lay eggs
