Are NHs good foragers?

Yeah I did get rid of the Wyandottes cause of comments on my other thread about how much they all hated theirs, poor layers, eat a ton, loud, mean, etc. lol Second picture with only 5 is my current list lol this one. Thinking I may take Delaware out though but my dad said he likes their looks and I have heard good things but supposedly hatchery Delawares are hit or miss so idk. Idk if I should add NHs back or not. They are gorgeous but I have sooo many red birds already lol and I don’t like the super loud and obnoxious part lol that’s how my Australorps are and they can be annoying and my one EE has an obnoxiously loud and long egg song thankfully, she hasn’t laid in a while

Don’t ask me. Our dumb hen got stuck in the horse pasture today screaming her head off and I debated leaving her out there. She used to be so sweet ugh, now she runs around like she has no head. I’ve seen her try to forage maybe 3 times since she started laying. Now she just runs around, and gets in places she shouldn’t. I don’t get it.

Baby ducks are so cute it’s unfair that they grow up to be loud things

Honestly they are. It’s no wonder that people are always saying they want ducks when they see a duckling.

OMG LOL that sounds horrible!! I am thinking maybe I will just take Delaware off and stick with Easter Egger, Partridge Rock, Speckled Sussex, and White Leghorn?

Are they that loud? That is disappointing lol the males are quieter, right? The opposite of chickens lol maybe I could just get a couple males as pets. They are soooo cute. But then I kinda wanna try duck eggs lol plus ducks trying to mate chickens is really dangerous right?

Agreed!! Soooo much cuter. They’ve got so much FLUFF!! And little webbie feet instead of weird toes and claws lol and adorable rounded little bill instead of a short pointy big and it takes up so much of their little faces too lol makes em look softer and cuter and less mean and less like velociraptors lol they are soooo cuteeeeeee.

But so messy and the water can have salmonella easier lol

They really are so adorable!! And so many people have them as pets now lol no wonder.

Yes but I think my australorp was more interested in foraging. Better at it. The Rooster really led the hens all around the place. So I’d say yes.
