For my chickens, I let only a few chickens out a day and leave some in the enclosure. Since my chickens like to stay together as a flock, the chickens I placed out for free range will stick around the coop and wait for me to open the door so they can go in for the night with their friends. Then I rotate and let chickens out who didn't go out last time. I have an area with lots of hawks. As long as I let some out every day and not all of them, the hawks never attack. It's a nifty trick I use.
