I told husband next year I would like to try differant breeds (maybe ones that i dont Have to butcher LOL I knew getting these I would have to but it would be nice to have one around permantly we have offsprey (sp) and I honeslty think that my turkeys kept them from getting my hens this summer cause I had no problems. I got eggs from my hen I never ate them ( was chicken) but i cooked them up adn would feed them to the dogs they love them!
