Crowing
If you have domestic chickens that will go in a coop reliably, you could add a solar auto door. If I had a lot of acreage, I would like to try something like the OP proposes. Something similar to what centrarchid does, individual flocks with their own range. I'm a little drawn toward game fowl though. It would be in the dream flock thread. I don't mean to pick at you or anyone. I just feel like a lot of reactions to "I want to free range my birds" isI free range my animals and love the benefits! I was suggesting that they stay in the run when they are not home. When they are home I highly encourage that they free range.
