im 84 ys on earth Raised on farm. Been in chickens 74 yrs. have learned a lot not to do. Best breed for dummies no question about that is game chickens. They don't need you for anything but a place to get water and an acre to roam on, and a tree to roost in yr round. absolutely nothing else. Get 3 or 4 and say good bye to ticks 100% hens lay med to small eggs but best tasting egg of all by far. Do not make a pet out of a roo The will attack any stranger that comes near you right in their face. like an attack dog.They fear nothing when it comes to protecting what it thinks is his.
