I have got my first two hens,light sussex.They are safely tucked away at
the moment.Is it a good idea to let them get used to us and there new
surroundings before we let them out of the run and roam the garden
supervised?Or will they stay nearby anyway.My only worry is my neighbours
two border collies which have the run of there garden,they have never
escaped though.We have a 6 ft hedge and fence.
Thanks Keith

If your garden is secure there's no reason why the hens can't roam free.
They might be alarmed for a time when they see or hear the dogs but they'll
get used to it.
