I've had my 9 chickens (8 pullets and a young roo) for about 7 weeks now.
They are in their coop at night, and in the 20 x 28 foot run during the daytime.
I can't wait to let them free-range on my land.......and am wondering if they are
too young, at 12 weeks of age, to do that????
They very much call the coop their own.........and put themselves to bed in there each evening.
Will they have enough 'homing instinct' to come back thru the run door and into their coop
at this age?
Thoughts or advice appreciated................
