I am thinking about allowing my small flock (6 hens, 1-yr old) to free range on our 2 acres... Our birds are currently in a 15'x60' run on bare dirt/mud right now so would like them to be able to free range during the day, but worry that they might mix with our neighbors free range flock (8 hens) which sometimes enters our yard by flying over the fence... To be honest, I don't think that I could tell their orpington's or new hampshire's apart from mine...
Will they get along?
Will they get mixed up and go to the wrong coops at night?
Please tell me that they will eat all the garter snakes in my yard!
Thanks!
