    Comment by 'BigBird 2025' in article 'Keeping Chickens Without Free Ranging'

    Being new and just getting started I found your article most helpful. I will be able to free range my girls in a small area of a suburban back yard. The coop plus the yard will give them some wondering room thank you for all the ideas.
