Hey everybody! My sister has always hatched chickens but my interest arose when our duck stole a hens nest and hatched a chick. I took the chick because the duck could care for it properly. I raised her up and then put her out with a red star and some silkies, and her mother duck. However, I wanted more chickens, so I fixed up the old goat yard. Also, I picked up some dark brahma chicks from TSC last year. They free roam the yard. The reason the others are penned is because my sister has a little menace dog who would catch the duck and silkies easily. I put the ones from the coop in the pen but the brahmas wouldn't stay in. We also have a few rir and other mixes running free. The rooster can jump in and attacks the silkie rooster. How do I keep the brahmas in, and keep the roosters from fighting? Sorry it's long, and sorry if it's unclear.
