What time does everyone let their chickens out? I have a coop with a small fenced in area for them, But open the big door for them to let them frr range in the mornings, how early do you let yours out? I would like to let them out 6-7- we live on 5 acres and worry about predators. We lost a Duck to a fox a few weeks ago at noon but i can't keep them in until that late.

I don't let mine out until 10:30 or even as late as noon as long as I'm going to be home. I used to let them out as soon as I got up in the morning but now that they're starting to lay, I'm trying to make sure they get into the habit of laying in the nest boxes. As soon as I'm convinced that they'll keep doing it, they'll be getting out at like 8-9am

I mix 1/2 acv with mother with 1/2 regular acv (cheap stuff), put in a glass jar with a coffee filter on top with a rubberband to hold it. Let it sit in the cupboard for 2-3 weeks and you will see the new mother on top, it's a jelly like thing. Then take 1/2 that and put in a jar with a lid to use. start all over again in the original jar filling with more cheap acv. You will have an endless supply for the cost of cheap acv.

I'm going to work with him and see what I can do. For now, he's scared of everything and hides in the back of the crate but I'm figuring that after a few days of life going on around him, he may relax. He wouldn't hurt the dogs, just run so I'm not letting him have the chance. Just holding him for all introductions. My husky had already lost interest in him in the crate lol
aww

yes, he was, after we got him use to being free in the barn, he learned to go out the back door and around thru the garden and then anywhere he wanted, he never went as far as the road tho, (we have five acres bordering the road) he was a good bunny, miss him.

Also on five acres, backed up against fields and woods. I haven't closed my pop doors in two years.
Mine have a rather large own top fenced run. They very rarely lay in the run.
