    Do you free range your chickens?

    I live on one acre, with mostly corn field's around so I have lost some to Hawk's, skunks, Raccoons. Has been a learning experience, so I have a small run inside a bigger one that I let them out during the day.

    What breed is your favorite in your flock?

    When I first started I had Cochin bantams, but now I have large chickens so I've got 3 Rhode island reds, 2 cuckoo marans, 2 brown leghorns, and a Rhode island red rooster. The white egg layers are fun to watch, but I like the R.I. reds.

    What was/is your MF D’Uccle roo temperament like?

    All three I've had would attack my leg, if they weren't so small it Wouldn't be so funny. Glad I don't have them anymore. Bantams are my favorites don't eat as much feed. Now have full size.

    Tractor Supply vs. order straight from hatchery

    In 2021 I ordered 8 from MT Healthy, 2 of each breed, 3 turned out roosters, but had no trouble they survived, it was my first time ordering from them. I've had tractor supply, and Rural King, chicks no problems.

    My two hens I wasn't sure about they had the long tail feathers, but anyway don't remember how dark they were at that age, am still learning.😊

    Single comb d'anvers? Feather legged orloffs?

    Murray McMurry sent me some years ago so had rose combs. They are sweet chicks, I had a hen that would fly onto my shoulder like a pirate parrot.
