We just got 3 hens who came from a place where they completely free ranged all of the time. We are unable to do that. But will have 2 pens we hope to rotate them back and forth in, as well as a chicken tractor. We will let them free range when we are able to supervise. Am I awful for taking away their complete free ranging freedom? Feeling bad.
