Would my chickens be okay if I let them out all day

[Lynette]

I have been letting them out everyday for the past few days except for today because I wasn't home. I have noticed that the roosters are very good with watching for any signs of danger and they do hide. The only thing that I have seen that I was worried about was either a Sharp-shinned or a Cooper's Hawk. And I was with them at the time. I let them out about late morning or early afternoon until it is time for them to go to bed. I was sooo nervous the first day that I was in the house doing my cleaning and I kept looking out the window. Or I would let the dogs out to check on them. It took me longer to get my chores done that day. I am still a little nervous when they are out, but not as bad. They are alot happier when I let them out and that is why I do it. I know they love it and I felt bad today because I didn't get home in time to let them out for alittle while. They can get out all day tomorrow.

Glad it's been going well and that your roos seems to be doing their job!
