................................now MD.........my nearest neighbor is only 3 or 4 miles. And he has 150 Laying hens!!!! But his eggs aren't as big or pretty as mine.......I better HUSH now!!!!

I think we need a no-joke Chicken Psychologist {spelling} to help us figure out this aggression thing. I'm going into my 3rd year on BHs and haven't had an onery Rooster yet. But on the other hand.....none of my large breeds....Basques, Breese, Cream Legbars, Rhodebars, and Wheaton Marans have...

................BUT.....................the Keets still sell for 3.00 and up....sometimes Way up at the Chicken Sales. They do a great job on insect control when a Chicken Tractor insn't practical and people don't like using chemicals..........................

Walt...........I've raised Chickens and Turkeys togeather for 50 something years now...even in the same pen...with no problems. Like you, I too do not medicate older birds other than Wormer. I am even trying DE to cut down on the amount of that. I truly believe that some of the older Heritage...

+1 galanie. I have raised birds for a long time and had never read it before until a friend recommended it. I refer to it nearly as much as my SOP and think everyone that is into improving any type of chickens should read it..................Mike
