I have a American Bresse splash rooster born late April 2016 that I am interested in swapping for a pullet or hen (doesn't have to be same breed as my boy). Located in Martinsburg, WV so local or near please.
I also have four English Mottled Orpington roosters, also born late April 2016...

Thank you! I didn't even think about a rooster helping to fend off the smaller preds... but I've always been wary of roosters for rumors of aggressive behavior towards humans. I may have to get a rooster down the road and see what happens between him & me.
I came across coyote statues...

thank you!! Still learning what breed is rare and what is easy to get to. I always wanted chickens, but never had the motion to actually "get them" until I saw my farm had everything already set up (just needs a little fine tuning from lack of use).
I am leaning more to likely keeping...

Thank you Nancy!
Sorry I forgot to mention... West Virgina (in Berkeley County). Normally mild winters, this past winter year was not fun though.
Fencing is 6 feet with logs and cement blocks on the inside to keep the preds out... one strand electric wire at the top (but isn't hot...
I just purchased a new horse farm this month and my farm already has a chicken coop & a small fenced area right outside of it. I have been scrolling through the Breed list for suitable egg layers (wanting also friendly, non-agressive, easily contained, and not noisy).
