I am building a chicken tractor and will have limited space. I think I will have only 3 or 4 hens. I am doing this primarily for eggs. Initially I had planned to have barred rocks and production reds.
My question is, would it be better to go with leghorns? Am I corrects that leghorns are a little smaller than similarly producing breeds? Would this make them more comfortable in a smaller coop?
Also, I have read that leghorns are more flighty or nervous. What is the disadvantage of this behavior?
Thanks.
