I don't know if you would consider them fully free range but they've got a nice size area in the yard and once I get the rest of it fenced in properly I plan on rotating them in and out of order right now in other sections of the yard. But I do give them lots of food and feeding vegetables and different things I found on a list here on this site to give him his treats and a supplement their fee in addition to their free range in my yard because I started eating me out of house and home. LOL honestly I didn't realize how much they would eat. I'm glad I have a yard that they can free range in.
And when we found her first egg… Ok every egg we found so far I feel excited and proud of my girls. Like a proud grandma LOL

I don't let them free range totally because I live in a residential neighborhood. And their dogs and cats another chickens and roosters and things around in addition to cars and I turn the air a little on the paranoid side the little overprotective side and just couldn't see let them just run out there in the world.... I wouldn't know what to do if they didn't come back

Why are you shouting?

I agree that one rooster is plenty in a small flock. There's no reason to invite trouble. Pick the best mannered one.

I also feel obligated to point out that spurs are not a good indicator of gender. Males and females both have nubs and some females will grow full spurs. Plus, by the time they have their spurs, the roosters already have their male feathers and are crowing, anyway.
