As far as breeds. I would suggest Brown Leghorn, good egg layer, or a Old English Game Bird. Both are very well adapted to free ranging and avoiding predators.

That is the exact thing I want! If only they weren't so darn pricey. I had been saving my pennies to get one but then the dang drought came, hay prices skyrocketed and I had to pay an arm and a leg for round bales for my horses. I have been hunting on Craigslist for a smallish one but people don't seem to be selling them
Guess it's just another thing to add to the " In the foreseeable future " list. Man that thing grows longer everyday!Wife and Mom
