I've got chickens (laying hens and broilers), quail, Turkeys (BBW's and Bourbon Reds), cats, and a Dog. What is another addition to the farm.
I do have a few questions about peas though.
1) How much square feet per bird is needed for inside housing? 1a) Hoping to allow them to roam when the snow isn't flying but if I have to pen them in a run, how much square feet per bird.
2) If allowed to roam, how destructive are they? Roosting in trees and maybe a roof is neat, but I don't want them on a vehicle. Do they destroy gardens??
3) What do they eat? (feed store protein % needed)
4) Do they eat alot? Compared to chickens, turkeys, etc. Do they eat more??
5) Better to start out with a hen and her young or an adult pair??
