We live by the woods and my neighbors do free range theirs, I'm sure they lose quite of few chickens and just replace them.That's the unfortunate thing about free ranging. Not many people are able to do it due to predators. We are fortunate to live in an area where there are many trees to shelter the chickens, and we also own a flock of geese. They are like our chicken guard dogs
I only have 4 pullets and they're my pets, I would never take that chance!
