I have rouens. They are friendly birds, good brooders and great parents! I didn't build a separate house for them...they sleep outside mostly on the bank of the pond but sometimes will go in the chicken house and sleep there if they feel like it. Mine are free range.

I have a friend who has two children that are albino (though to be politically correct, we are supposed to say "child with Albinism"). That's why I know so much about it.
