Letting Out The Peachicks

[KiwiandPeachthePigeons]

I have four peachicks that are around a a month old and I was wondering whether I would be able to let them out of their pen to roam without them wandering away? I was thinking even just in the evenings so that they wouldn't' have much chance to wander off. Therese a feral flock that lives near my house so im worried about mine running off and joining them.

Four weeks old are way too young to be out on their own, they will get lost or a predator will get them.

Agree with KSkingbee

Ok, thanks. When is it safe to let them out?

The only chicks we free range are with their mothers. If we were to let young birds out by themselves they would be four to six months and the older the better.
