For those of you that are able to free range, how much land do you have? Do the chickens pretty much stay together? Does traffic spook them?
I am definetly considering it. They are babies now, but just thinking about the future. We have 3 acres but we are on a busy 55 MPH road. I wouldn't think they wouldn't go near it (but what do I know) thats what I'm asking LOL
Their coop will be in the very back part of the yard inside the barn, and I will have to be outside if I let them roam, because sometimes the neighbors dog gets loose. (I already know THATS going to be an issue)
Oh I also have 26 chickens so far.......is that alot to keep an eye on while I'm out there?
