You are sure correct about the free roaming chickens, and if you let them scratch through cow flops in the pasture the eggs are really tasty. I know it sounds gross but they are only after undigested grain. However, hawks have become too much of a nuisance and you better not get caught shooting one. The authorities will throw the book at you. So most of us that raised chickens used a mobile pen that could be moved around the pasture.
