Pasture raised chicken coming to Ottawa [General]

Apparently "Free Range" just means they have access to outside, whereas "Pasture Raised" means they are living on pasture.

I get pastured raised chickens and I do find that I need to treat them a bit different than grocery store chickens. For Broilers, I brine for a bit 1st or make sure to bake with lemon under the skin to help break it down a bit. The stewing hens of course go for a long braise.
The flavour is amazing though

How do you keep foxes from eating them if they are running free and foraging in pasture ? Will they come back to a roost at night ? 3000 of them ? Where do they sleep ? Sounds like you need land, but not too much work, but I must be missing something. $42 a bird is a good selling price.
The best meat I ever had in my life was many years ago in Cuba. We rode on horseback and kept seeing what I thought were feral pigs running through the jungle. When we stopped for lunch in the mountains, one of them pigs was turning on a wood spit over some hot coals, and it was very, very, very good.
