x2 I agree with liz. also if you have a wooded area, that is also bad for your chickens. Use any means to keep predators away. Hawks also will attack your chickens from above. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

Welcome from another newbie!

Thanks for posting your questions - they are some of the same ones I have although we are not going to do free range. Good luck! Look forward to hearing what you decide and how it goes.
