I have a smallish flock of aro und a dozen hens and two roosters, evenly mixed between RIR's and Barred rocks. We have an enclosed coop they stay in for the most part, but ilike to let them out to range around. I have an electric fence running around the inside of my fence, to help keep my dogs...
Just checking in from Ky. We live in suburbia, and raise a smaller flock of RIR's and Barred Rocks, along with assorted other critters that make our neighbors think we opened a petting zoo.
