Curious when others felt comfortable to let their mus be free. Mine are let out of their kennel into the outside chicken run at 7am. I’m home from work at 5pm and let them out to run into the 1 acre bird area for a few hours before bed.
At what size or age is it safe to let them be out all day unsupervised?
The area is completely fenced, so not concerned about them getting out. Electric fencing on top and outside to keep ground predators out. So birds of prey are the only concern. Bald eagles fly over daily. Have lost a few chickens to hawks, none to bald eagles yet.
They’re a little over 2 months old currently. Male is 10 days older than the female. Id say she’s the size of a very large rooster.
