Scared to free range.

Would it be silly of me to let maybe one of my older Bielefelders out first like, one at a time, until I’m comfortable? I was raised with chickens...just this is my first time owning them on my own little property.

Do what works for you. But I've found that just a few out will stay close to the rest of the flock and not give you a true measure.
