I hatched out a few poults a years ago and fell in love with them.
My 2 girls were calm and pet like but insisted in laying their eggs out in the woods
even though provided with a coop and nest box and as much as I tried to hunt down their nests and break them up they both ended up
setting on eggs in the woods (I couldnt find them) and getting killed off by predators.
I have 1 tom and he never goes beyond the barnyard.
I don't have, or want to keep them confined to a covered pen.
Are any breeds that are known to be less adventuresome?
I'd like to get a couple hens if I could find a breed that sticks around instead of wandering off
if there is such a thing?
Thanks for any advise.
