Unless you seperate them you would get mixed colors.

It is commonly said they can not fly, however they can fly short distances (20 feer or so). They prefer to run, and will try to escape by running first.

okay thanks. Our yard is split in two halves, our poultry on one side and dogs on the other. I just need to make sure the runner won't fly over our fence to the dogs side where it will be killed.

Clip one wing and you won't need to worry. One of ours did manage to fly up and over an eight foot fence.
