So far, I've done the dominiques and speckled sussex for my free-ranging flock. I read that the darker, mottled coloring helps them resist being spotted as easily.
Has anybody found this to be true? I'd like to try some brighter colored birds like the buff orpington. I keep picturing the sky full of hawks flying off with them in their talons while my darker ones are left below, waving goodbye.
