Hello,
Haven't had chickens since I was a kid in Wyoming in the 60's: They were Brahmas, banties (don't know what kind; they were black and gold and could fly like pheasants), and a bunch of white ones. They free-ranged without problems, though I do remember our dogs killing rats in the chickenhouse. My wife recently became enamored--or even obsessed--with the idea of chickens, so now we have a snazzy little pre-built "Amish" chicken house with a small run. We have a Marans rooster and hen (about to start laying), as well as an Australorp hen. I like chickens and I'm glad I found this site.
