Maybe you could build a chicken tractor instead of enlarging your run? That way you could move it around to different spots in the yard every few days and they could enjoy different things? Just a thought...I live in the boonies so mine run around without supervision and so far they all come back at night to roost. As was already said, they very rarely go out of sight of their home.Fencing in my property would be cost prohibitive and require clearing more trees than I want to. Which is why we have a large fence chicken run with a significant predator apron. And it's covered to guard from hawks. This fall, we plan on almost tripling the run size. The chickens will then have more yard than we do. If it's fenced, it's still considered free range?
