My mother was a great lover of pets and she always had a variety of animals our backyard. She had many breeds of chicken and the chickens had names. They would come when she called them! I suppose they learnt to associate her call with feeding time! The chicken ranged free during the day and spent the night in their coup, which was a box made of wooden slats.
The top was raised like the roof of a house and had a tarpaulin over it to keep out the rain. The sides and floor had an inch of space between each slat. Perches were provided inside. The 12”x12” entrance had a chicken mesh door. The coup was raised 2’ above ground on four legs. A straw-lined basket was inside for eggs. What fun we had racing to collect the egg when we heard the hen cackle to announce its feat!
