Free range is easy but something I can only do in the winter because they will not stay out of my garden.
Forgot to add ... nice pictures. (and thanks for posting them.)

I free range as well and have agarden. I uses plastic deer fence to keep the chickens and ducks out and the fencing is only $20 for 110'.

I let my bigger girls out to free range only when I am home and outside to supervise. We have too many dogs that roam our area, including one of mine that will eat them. I have to make sure the one dog is in the dog pen before letting them out. She is relentless, and I have not been able to break her of wanting to make a snack out of them. My cat loves the chickens and has been around them since they were a day old.

Here is my Mama Barred Rock from two years ago. She gave me four boys and one girl. The girl was taken by a hawk, but the four boys are still around. The two yellow balls of fluff are now my big boys Hamish and Angus. Sons of Pepper!!
The other is my lovely Cocky Rocky. Tamsin is behind him, they are Araucanas. He has stopped traffic when he is taking some girls on a tour of the front yard. And he is top cock in the flock!!

Great pictures!
On a side note my farm is fenced and cross fenced. My garden is 2 acres and fenced but it has not stopped the deer nor the rouge chicken from getting in there and giving it good trashing. lol
So I opt to keep them in a run and the deer in the freezer.

Look at that cute kitty imitating the chickens taking a bath
I let my chickens free range with the horses plus they have an extra area that the horses can't get to where I keep their feeders. The young white orpington, in the puddle, stood there looking around for about 5 minutes before she decided that it was safe to walk back out...lol!

I got my deer fence at Tractor Supply, here is a pic I found on google. This is exactly what my fence looks like. I found it in the garden section. I also used some of it to cover my rooster pen so they couldnt get out. It unfold to be 7 feet tall and comes in 120' long rolls for $19.99
