Hey people!
I live in Southern Florida, and I'm setting up an edible jungle on my 1/3 acre property. I'm very much a bird guy and I'm always on the hunt for something unique and exotic, and I'd like to find something special to let free range around my property.
Obviously, who would be better to go to for advice than you guys, eh?
I really want something exotic, and I was leaning towards peafowl for their stately appearance and large size. However, apparently they need quite a bit of space to roam, or else a large pen. Emus also appeal to me, but I don't have a pen big enough and I suspect my yard would look like a sandbox after they spent time stomping around.
So, do you guys have suggestions? Perhaps a tall, elegant, or bizarre chicken breed? Polish's caught my eye. I'd like something I could treat as a pet, perhaps get some eggs from, trust around my garden, and perhaps be able to defend themselves.
Thanks!
