Howdy.
Well, based on last night's candling, some of these critters might actully join us in a couple weeks. So, time to start thinking about what we're going to do with them.
We plan on letting them free-range a few hours a day when we can be outside to keep an eye on them. Our property is sort of long and arrow, about 50-60 yards across, and I want to keep them out of the ditch and the neighbor's yard. Do chickens stay fairly close to home when free ranging, or do they scatter all heck to breakfast?
Also, are they fairly easy to herd if they get where they aren't supposed to be? We're talking about Wyandottes here, if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
Tom
