Thanks for joining me for another week on the Backyard Farming Connection.
I use a chickshaw and fencing, as well as freeranging them:

I love the 'chickshaw' design! We now only use our tractor when our chicks are young and move them around - otherwise we just move the fencing and funnel the chickens into different areas.
Do they fight the funnels? They look kind of tight.
Nope - they don't seem bothered by the size at all. We've used bigger ones and smaller ones over the years and they all work fine.
Great - thank you!
