I have a flock of 12 with full coop and run privileges but my ultimate goal is free ranging. I want to come in from work in the afternoon and give them 2-3 hours of hunting time. I understand the predators and everything I just wanted to know if I could or should let my 8-9 week olds out now or is it better to wait until they are bigger? They will be under supervision anytime they free range and will be fenced in with 1/2 acre to play in. Let me know what you think
