I thought I had read that on here earlier (somewhere). We have nine hens and one rooster. Since we like to collect our eggs and not have to hunt them...we have a coop and yard for them. I had wanted to let them free range, but as mentioned, egg hunts are not what we like to do (although the dog is quite good at it)!
We recently bought some chicks. Waiting for the reveal of which will be cockerels and which ones pullets. Plan to allow the cockerels to free range, as long as they do not fight, because of this benefit alone. When the temps dropped, and wasn't raining, the quiet evenings were nice. I like the sound of the frogs, but just wish it were more so in the distance. I had forgotten how loud they could get!
Best wishes
