Hi all
It is nice to find such a great resource.

My husband and I recently bought a home on 9 acres and have lots of work to do fixing it up. We have been thinking we would like to have a few chickens we could free range. I hope to do some research by reading your forums and perhaps asking a few questions of my own. I want to keep them safe but also allow them to free range.

thanks again to all who are old hat and take time to post here.

Hi and welcome to BYC :frow We're so happy you've decided to join us:ya

Mine live on pasture inside an electric fence with shelters to hide in during the day and sleep in at night. And they free range during the day (the four foot fence doesn't even slow them down)... If you free range be prepared for losses as everyone likes a chicken dinner. A lot of folks do supervised free ranging to limit those losses.
