I have my chickens in a coop with a run that is completely enclosed with hardware cloth from top to bottom. That means when they get up in the morning they are free to go out to the run.. no doors to open..
I also a fairly large field that I would like to let them out to free range.. The field is right next to our house and I have monitored it for predators and seem ok..
So the question is..
I would not let them out unless I was at home during the free ranging..
That means they would only free range about 2-3 days a week and some evenings.
I am wondering... with such sporadic times going out that they may not want to come in...
Do you see any problems from letting them free range one day but not the next.. No real schedule?
Thanks everyone.. I hope this makes sense... I confused myself kinda.... LOL
