These big units I would guess less than 5% go out. Bit of a con really.Most free range never go head out much anyhow do they ?
going to be a flock of around 200 maybe a few more, I could move them further from the road but most suitable field is the one by the road, just weighing up the options, thanks for the replies

I think the general public think they are running round a nice grassy field most of the day. I know a unit where they have a 10 acre field but barely 1/4 acre will see a chicken. That's how most chickens are. Mine keep close to the sheds.Why is it a con? Should we be forcing them to out?
