Supervised freeranging.

I plan to try supervised freeranging with my poults after they are 10 weeks or so. I have to supervise because of predators, particularly my dogs. Has this worked for anyone else.

This should work out just fine. I started free ranging mine at just a few weeks old. I even let them new chicks out to take dirt baths when it is warm out for just a few minutes at a time. It is so cute to watch little fuzzies take dirt baths!
