This intended to be a long duration thread concerning ways of keeping this composite breed. Here the birds suffer a range of coops, pens, covered runs, tie-cords and even free-range. Keeping them is generally more costly than typical chickens mostly due combativeness, especially if more than a few are kept. Their behavior is particularly complex and adaptive. The behavior is a big part of what makes them interesting and a challenge to keep. If goes as plans, this thread will be one easily mined for useful approaches for keeping these omnipotent fowl that encompass all of what chickens chickens are. Do pardon the American Dominiques and Missouri Dominiques conducting photobomb runs.
