Perspectives from those that have real free-range flocks

Mine are 100% free ranged in the sense that they can go where they please, and roost where they please. I only separate the hens to avoid having fertile eggs.

Mine are the same, though any given night about half the flock roosts in the coop. It's rarely the same group though, which perplexes me. I can't figure out what the deciding factor is for them on whether to coop or not to coop.

I think that there are small green eggs laid all over town!
