they've been in the coop since the end of July. They do have a pretty large fenced in run that they've been using. Early this summer I had a flock that I had in the same coop and run and some critter got into it and the chickens got loose and never came home. We'd see them out in the woods...
I was cleaning out the chicken coop today and one of my roosters got out. They're 12 weeks old now and I've wanted to free range them, so I figured today is a good day to start! so, I opened up the door and now I'm worried they won't come home!!
