Free Ranging Breeds

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that brahmas weren't good free-ranging birds. I'm glad my chickens never read that book.
I agree. There are risks. I feel the risks are worth taking.

Its a risk to free range any bird. Some just do better than others. And sometimes the birds that arent susposed to free range very well can suprise you.

I keep some birds up all the time and some live outside all the time. It depends on their worth in my breeding program.
Anything with game in it will be pretty wary of predators.
Mediterranean breeds are quick and crazy too.
