Hello! I'm not new to chickens, but new to them as a hobby on my own :) We had chickens growing up and I raised 2 turkey's from day old in high school. We also had a bunch of laying hens 2 years ago that something came in and killed :( We are going to try free ranging and I am hatching out my first bunch from an incubator and getting more this coming week after they are all out. We also are picking up 50 pullets next Friday, lol. This seems to be addicting!

Free ranging is great for the chickens, they absolutely love it, we have been free ranging for years. I'm sorry you lost your hens before! 
Good luck this time round, and enjoy the site
