I wanted horned, but the breeder removed them at birth.
The fence, IMO, doesn't need to be electric. At least not for me or mine. Presently, I have 5 Nigerians as well as chickens, and I love the fact theat they come up to the fence!

Why would they lay 3 and no more?!
Also..are they 'supposed' to be pooping in the nests?
