Crowing
I have 8 hens that can free range when I come home. We have had some predator issues in the past and almost all attacks have been when we are away. My hens stay in the run for the most part. I have 4 9 week old chicks and 1 8 week old. We live in a suburb ish neighborhood and we have a decent sized yard. When can the chicks free range? The chicks stay in the run all the time and it’s difficult with bed time and the hens coming and going. The hens and chicks are integrated they have been living with the hens for about a month. Will they come back at night? Do I need to supervise them? Will they be able to get through my fence? I will attach pictures of my yard when I get home.
