[CHICKENS-101] Re:Free Range? Yes or no...

 

Hi Shalonne,

 

I agree that my free range chickens seem about as happy as a chicken can be.  I would make sure that they have a safe place to roost at night, which will help keep your loses to a minimum.  Also, a fence is important to keep your neighbors dogs and four legged wildlife out.  I figure if I occasionally loose a chicken to a hawk or eagle, it is usually worth getting a good sighting of these magnificent birds.  I don't know if I'm the only one, but I never loose a rooster to a hawk, it is always a hen, especially if she has chicks.  I've often wished a hawk would take a few of my extra roosters at the end of summer.
