At what age?

Hello,
We have 8 week old chickens and I would like to know when it is okay to start letting them free range? They have access to outside right now but I would like for them to have more room. Does anyone have any tips on how to get them back in once they are out on their own?

Thanks,
Sarah

As long as it's warm, I think you're fine as long as the free ranging is supervised. I don't think the chicks will wander too far from the coop, since they know it.
