Best Free-Rangers.

[Peep-Chicken]

What chickens are best at free ranging? Like they can get away from predators? Green jungle fowl? I just can't expand my coop anymore so I want to just let the new chickens loose, even when I'm not home.

It depends upon how you are setup with respect to predator management. Birds I have are likely the most predator resistant you will find on the planet but they still benefit from predator management. Another concern is the resources the birds have while foraging that keep them tight enough so you can get your eggs and meat rather than having predator or even neighbor getting a share.
