Your made me giggle! LOL They range really well and the cold doesnt seem to bother them.This may be nasty but they(the pure birds) follow the cows around and clean up after them. The 2nd gens that were raised by game hens were no where near as much trouble as those first ones that I raised under a light. The first ones were so nasty and ate constantly and became extremely human bonded. The game hen raised group were barely fed and look just as good and don't annoy you when you are out working in the yard. Some people may like that...I do not.
The 2 pure gen 2 birds look so much like the gen ones I have to look really close. I do have their wing feathers cut to keep them in the fence. The two EEXFR are in a different area so they don't cross with the pure birds. I will breed the gen 2s back to their gen 1 father in the spring and see what we get.
