Free ranging..How long

[Chick1043]

I was just wondering how long everyone on here free ranges their chickens? I free range mine all day but I was just curious

I sleep late every day but they are usually ranging from 11 am until they return to their coops at dark.

Mine get out at 8:30 and come in at dark

About 7:00 am to 5:00 pm but they have free access to the coops and run any time they want throughout the day

From sun-up to sun-down. There's an auto door on the coop which lets them out and closes at night. I leave for work before dawn and get home well after dark this time of year.

Mine free range sunup to sundown.

Yup, from the time they get up till they bed down. Well, they sorta bed down. I've never heard such a bunch of angry chickens like these are on the roost getting settled.

Okay thanks everyone! Just curious!

 

[Marthab1953]

From daylight to dark. Of course that is different hours depending on time of year!

All day. I let them out at 9 am, close up shop at 6 when it gets dark... in the summer it was dawn to dark...
