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.
