My X sussex are in a super small run, When can I let them out to free range?
Will they go back to the run at night or threatened?
Do I simply let them all go at once or 1 at a time?

Just open the door and let them out every morning [icon_hen! cluck.!.
Its what I do and yes occasionally some get taken by hawks or dogs but not a big deal as I usually have chicks to replace them
