Hello all. I will be moving at the end of this week to my new home in the country. 7 acres in SW Michigan. In the spring I'd like to get my coop built and get just a handfull of chickens for some fresh eggs and bug control. I've noticed from some posts that many of you free range your chickens. How do you get them into the coop at night? I have about 3-4 acres of meadow/hay/grass that I would like them to be on, and there are no busy roads nearby, but I am concerned about chasing them down and getting them in at night. Any advice?

Jeff
