Roaming

[Ahmadrd52]

I have 11 chicks about 4 weeks old.
When can I let them roam around.
I have an acre with no bushes or trees.
And when I let them roam, how do I keep them from flying over the 5 foot fence.
Thanks

At this size, and for about 2 more months, they're tasty snacks for hawks. Fence in a section and add things for them to hide under- pallets on blocks, brush etc.
