Sorry if this is in the wrong section- I figured it did have something to do with chicken behavior.
We have 45 chickens. Attached to the coop we have a fenced area that is uncovered. It's a fairly big yard for them but of course they enjoy jumping over the fence. I'm thinking about taking the fence down and allowing them to free range our yard. They would have about 1/2 acre to roam. If we did this how likely would it be that they would stay in that area or would they typically travel further?
I guess what I'm asking really how far away from the coop do chickens typically free range?
TIA,
Liddy
