Thanks Cass for the moral support....but I do worry about my girls....I know it sounds silly but I actually just love those girls...I had them since they were 3 days old and I go talk to them several times a day
I was wondering..
Currently I have a very nice coop with an attached covered run...it's actually very nice and the guys who built are like experts and secured it from all directions so snakes could not get in no matter what....we check for holes or any other signs of mischief daily and nothing...
so I was wondering...at this stage of the game....what harm could come if I were to let them out a few hours a day to free range...
My worry would be would they all go back in the coop at night ?? How would I round them up...I have like 3 acres here...and a lot of it is all naturale....
We have predators like owls, hawks, racoons, possum, armadillos and GOD knows what else...but I usually don't see them in the daytime around here only at dusk or nighttime...
I guess I could try it and whatever happens happens but if they got one of my girls I would be devasted...I would feel like I feed them to the wolves so to speak...
Any thoughts ???
