My son really wants a white chicken. We are just about to start our flock and plan to get buff orpington, easter eggers, dominique, and appenzellers. What white hen would be a good fit for a kid? White leg horn? White rock? Something else totally? :)
Is it possible to have a happy flock containing mixed size hens? Or will the smaller hens get picked on? My plan is to free range them during the day and build a large coop for the entire flock. Newbie chicken person here :)
We are looking to get some ducks for garden/yard bug control and would love some that are calmer with kids too (4 & 6 pet savy kids). We also don't have a natural water source so we will be creating one for them. I'm thinking a small flock of 4ish ducks. I've been looking at Runners and Blue...
