I have 12 chickens all around a year. They've been here for about a month now and I had them closed up in their coop then entire time. I just started letting them out to free range and I'm worried I will start losing eggs due to them laying them in other various places than in the nests. So far they seem to be coming back to the coop to lay but I have 10 acres and there is a lot of junk for them to hid and lay in. This is my first time having chickens and I want to make sure I keep getting eggs. Should I fence them off a place to free range? Because right now they have free run of the property and seem to be staying close to the coop. I don't know what to expect from them. In case this info is important I have 6 black sexlinks
2 white chickens (no idea what kind they are)
2 road island reds
2 red cochin's
1 red cochin rooster
plus 6 pullets that are about 2 1/2 months old.
Thanks for your advice
