    Mixed Flock or Not?

    Our barred rocks and australorps get along famously. Maybe because they are both fairly mild-mannered breeds? Though it might be interesting to mix flighty breeds with tamer ones and just watch the show...

    Never buy chicks with out a mother or with a older chicken

    Preservation of the species is largely instinct. Some is learned of course, but the fear of overhead danger is in-born.

    Coop Night Light? Verdict Needed!
