I have 2 Indian Runners and about 50 chickens. I had 6 ducks, but a dog killed all but the 2, one male and one female. The grew up with chicks and now hang out with the chickens. I have tried making them their own sleeping area, but they insist on sleeping under the roosting chickens. The...
Thank you. Ben and Chase are both hair sheep. Their mothers were both black belly and looked like Chase and the father was white like Ben. I'm not sure what breed he was, I just saw him once from across the pasture.
