They don't do well with other chicken breeds. They often crush them. They also give live birth - not eggs. Water is acid to their skin, so you can't let them get a single drop on them. Also they need a lot of space. 5 acres per chickapotomus.Now that you've discovered you subconsciously breed them, how much for two young ones? Would they do well in a flock with other mellow chickens? What's their egg laying capacity? Do they, like their silky relatives, need special care in the rain/cold? Anything I should know before buying?
