Quote:
I have 1 rooster and 3 hens of Pedrês Portuguesa they are a very rustic breed, selected to be able to survive by themselves:
-very very hardy (no need for shelter in winter);
-if given enough space can feed themselves by grazing (seeds, bugs, weeds, etc);
-very protective of their chicks (sometimes to aggressive my dog is afraid of them);
But they still give one egg a day (if not given any feed may not lay one every day), and grow big (slow but big). Very good chickens for country side.
Their feather patterns look pretty much like a barred rock.
