    Free ranging pros and cons?

    Thank you so much for your thoughts and feedback, everyone! I think you have talked me into it. I am going to look for a dog to raise and train with the chickens, to protect them against predators. Thank you for the info on that, centrarchid! I am a little concerned about birds of prey though.

    Oh no, Turk. I am getting talked into getting a livestock guardian dog, but those teeth are making me think twice now! It does look like it would do a good job keeping predators at bay though.

    Free ranging pros and cons?

    I am fairly new to chickens though I've been lurking here and learning a lot over the past month. I think I'm ready to take the plunge and get some chickens now.

    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    I'm fairly new to chickens and would like to get a breed that will lay well as well as process well for the table. I've been looking into the different breeds, though I am still undecided on what to get, I am leaning towards Buckeyes at the moment. I am looking for a friendly breed preferably...
