We let ours out every day for a few hours. I love to watch them; they're so funny when they run to catch up with the others, half waddling and half flying. My rooster is a real character. I picked him up once for a "come to Jesus" talk to decide who was boss. He and I have come to an understanding; I'm God as far as he's concerned. I still love it though when he flogs my buddies who decide that they're going to pet him; he waits until they turnn their back and ... attack ... he's all over them.
