My flock of 12 chicks are abourt 2 months old now. I created an outdoor pen with snowfencing outside of their coop and run, so they have gotten used to being outdoors. They are mixing sucessfully with 8 mature hens.
I'm thinking it's OK to take the snowfence away and just let them all range. I am guessing they will take their cues from the adult hens when it's time for them to go back in the run for the evening. Does this sound reasonable?
I know there is always a risk of predators with any chickens.
Thanks!
