This is a great place to learn about all things related to poultry, Tony. Congrats on joining!
Wyandottes are lovely birds, both in appearance and temperament. I had a Blue-Laced Red and currently have a Colombian and a Sliver-Laced.
Although most of my birds (chickens, ducks and geese) live outdoors, I have one house chicken, a hen named Dottie.
Some people believe that chickens are only happy when they are with their own kind. But Dottie has a "flock" that includes me, my dogs and until his recent passing, my cat. I know Richard can have a great life with you as his flock, indoors where he safe from outside diseases and predation.
Welcome to BYC; hope you enjoy being part of this community!
