Around here, free-range chickens are dead chickens.
Our local predators love free-range chickens.

yes. Like clockwork around dark they will come back home. We let ours out everyday and late every evening they put themselves up. A friend who has had them a while said that if you keep them in a coop for about a week, that it imprints as home to them. So far he has been 100% correct. Somebody told me the same thing about quail. They (the quail) had never heard of such nonsense apparently because I no longer have quail.

Between the owls, bobcats and fox, the quail probably didn't have a say in the matter.

Well Coosa?
Did they go to roost in their own pen? Mine do .
I'm sure they did,if you left the gate open. Shut it after they go to roost.
II forgot to shut the gate a couple weeks ago,and
Something went inside the pen that night and caught one.
