At the moment, "free range." The back yard is fenced on all sides and I'm willing to put up a net to deter aerial predators. But the back yard is also a fairly suburban set up and about 1/4 acre, I believe. There's an area within the back yard that's already fenced in that could be secured as a run if necessary, and we'll be building a coop long before we get chicks.I can't seem to find any information on how you intend to keep these hypothetical chickens. How you intend to keep them is arguably the most important factor in making a breed choice.
I guess I didn't clarify entirely since...there's not really much forage in the yard, so I'm not expecting them to supplement much, and the yard is going to be fairly contained/protected. I can't let them truly free-range as that's all neighbor's properties.
