I am intrigued by Sumatras and would like to raise some.
I am interested in finding out their temperment. I dont care about aloofness just about how well they get along with each other and other chickens. I am prepared to keep them in their own coop and run but would like to know if I could co-mingle them with the rest of the chickens occasionally. I know they are good fliers and read some of the histories online about some being able to fly from island to island. I have eighteen acres so if one flys about there are no worries, only to get him to come back.
Most places sell only straight run... Do you think the extra males would get along in a Bachelor flock? Or would I need to separate them at all.
I do want good bloodlines that follow the standard. Any links to breeders would be helpful as well. So far I have only found a couple of hatcherys that carry them but I would rather buy from a breeder.
Thanks in advance
