    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    As I have some chickens which I keep with a family in my house, they aren't fully free ranging yet. It was about a year ago when I watched the first video of Florida Bullfrog. Since then, I've experimented with different breeds. I thought, an old landrace from Serbia, the Sanjak Longcrowers...

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    Yesterday I bought my first Liege Fighters. They were a real bargain. 60€ for all three together :D Look at those spurs at the hens' legs! (the ones with the ring on them). I'm curious as if the hawk will try to catch them. I haven't seen a hawk yet that took an adult cock at my home. And the...

    What are your experiences with Kraienköppes? I could get hatching eggs and birds from this breed here in my region :)

    When I watched my turkey hen twice attacking and beating a hawk in spring, there was no successful hawk attack for more than 2 months after that...

    I'm very envious. The hawk kills most of our chickens and chicks.

    I've almost read the whole discussion. Interesting to read and thanks to all of you who contributed! @LaurenRitz When you write about your breed crosses: Which breed is the abreviation "BA"? And what does "BYM" mean? Greetings!

    Chickens in nature

    In Latin it's Martes martes. They live here in Germany and can climb trees. Yes, but I asked because this nest-box in the tree sounded unsafer than just letting her hatch in the brush.

    Isn't it totally unsafe for the broodies to hatch their chicks in there? I mean, wouldn't a raccoon dog easily see the broody and eat her? Wouldn't it be safer for her to hatch a clutch deep inside a dense brush?

    Are you planning on keeping them without a coop in future?

    I'm glad that you're interested in the Deutsches Buschhuhn :) I don't own them yet, but it looks good that I convinced my chicken mate that I keep our chickens with to get a Deutsches Buschhuhn cock so that we can mix our own survival chickens. Next year, I also wanna buy some hatching eggs near...
