    Scratchiness index?

    Looking at my young bantam wyandottes today, I was suprised to see how little they scratch, compared to my RiRs. They peck the ground and catch insects but hardly ever dig around. My RiRs, they were real garden wreckers and dug up my whole lawn in matter of weeks. I enjoyed watching their...
