In the Brooder
I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post but I'm hoping someone can give me advice as to what age can I start free ranging my chicks. I have three chickens and the are 7 weeks old.

One thing to remember is they are Chickens!Thank you all so much, I'm learning a lot from you all!
They will remain in their coop when ever we are not home. I don't ever plan on them totally free ranging without one of us being here.
With that said, I have been reading from prior threads and from you and think an hour before dusk each night is how I will start. Supervised of course.
I just worry about them getting bored in their coop!!!!
Thanks again!!!
Not sure what your question is?I've got a broody hen that has been free ranging with 10 chicks since they hatched, 2 weeks ago. Honestly, she doesn't take them far from the coop. They hardly ever even leave the run. I've had a batch of chicks out in the grow-out coop that have been free ranging since they went out at 3 weeks old, that was about 3 weeks ago.
