In 2021 I started raising hens after finding a chick in my front yard. My beautiful rooster Pepper. He had to go to a rooster sanctuary.
We have lost 2 hens in the last year, Goldie the Buff Orpington and Penny a RIR last month.
We have 4 hens. Today I went to get 2 RIRs at Tractor supply because the regular feed store didn't have any. When we got there we were told we had to buy 4 not just 2.
So we got 2 RIRs and 2 Arconas.
I've never heard of this breed before. Aracanas yes, but not Arconas.
Can anyone tell me their experience with the hens. I'm getting mixed reviews reading about them. Big combs and waddles which is fine, very noisy which I definitely DON'T WANT, that they can FLY good distances if chased ....just what I don't need is them flying over my neighbors wall.
I tried to post a picture of the little darlings but couldn't.
