I have 6 new girls and I have been letting them out in the evening for about an hour supervised. They have about 12 sq/ft per bird in their run and 5 sq/ft in their coop but I know how much they enjoy being out. Problem is I can not let them out all day because of wildlife in the area (my chickenless neighbor just found a half eaten chicken in her yard that was dropped off by some critter, not my chicken) and my dogs who have been accepting of the new girls as long as they stay in their house.
So my question is are there any other "sort of" free rangers out there and how is it working out for you? Every time I go in to feed them they run for the door and I feel bad, but I give them a variety of different things to eat throughout the day and they do get their evening romp through the yard.
Just curious??
