I have several (starting with 3) unique breeds coming into my hands, where we will be trying free-range the flocks on 20 acres. Plus, keep the lines pure, if that is possible.
At first I had thought I could only free-range only one, and have pens for the rest. But what if the coops were super far apart? Maybe some sort of strategy like separating them in pens before selecting eggs for hatching.
Maybe they can be trained to be prejudiced in their selection of mates...
Doubtless, there are countless methods I am unaware of!
Anyone out there have any clever ways of achieving this goal? Is it even possible?
