I wouldn't be surprised if this has been asked before, so if it has please feel free to direct me to the appropriate thread, my searches have been ineffective.
I have seen people's homes where even though they let their chickens free range it doesn't look like a setting out of the movie Mad Max. So my question is this; at what point does an area become too large for a chicken to effectively denude it? Is there a magical minimum square footage per chicken ratio? And what would that number be?
Just because I know someone will ask, I have four hens and they will be allowed limited free range privileges ( a few hours a day).
