Just started with chickens this summer...went with Buff Orpingtons to learn with. great birds, in a rock solid coop and run...going to add White orps in the spring, but I may start another coop for welsummers, I just love the good looks, and reports of their good dispositions.
Here's my question, how do welsummers work as free range birds? Semi rural area, but I'm hoping that with plenty of places to hide, and their natural camo, they could avoid the few cats/dogs that might make it through electric fence.
anyone free range their welsummers? how well do they do?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. How about the leg issue. I have used Hobbs on a Yorkshire Terrier pup born a swimmer with great results. I am not sure what the exact injury is but it can not support her and slide our from under her when she tries to stand. The leg has been pecked, but does not appear to be broken. I believe it to be a joint issue.Chickens have amazing healing abilities and can come back from this. I would watch the flock, there may be an aggressive bird in the flock that is picking on the others severely.
So separate the injured birds, start antibiotics and put some neosporin or similar salve on the wound. Use no salves with "Cain" in it for pain control, as it will kill the bird.
Chickens have the ability to regrow skin and feathers in the new skin. It will just take some time.
Myself, I have never had good luck with joint issues. Those I always cull, as it looks painful and they rarely, if ever, recover from such a injury. Maybe something tried to pull it through a fence, like a coon. You might want to put some hardware cloth around the coop and put out a trap.Thanks. How about the leg issue.
