    I actually saw the coolest tractor a while back online it might of even been on this site but it was a chicken tractor that was made to look like a john deere. So if you get creative they can be just as appealing.

    Bird Dog with laying chickens how will they be effected

    Are there breeds that are better than the others far as handling other animals. We have two austra's and two black sexlinks. I wanted dominiques but couldn't find any in the area plus two of them were free.

My bird went and harassed...
