Indeed he does. I don't remember but I don't think so.
Ate two (never intended to keep them anyway) dang fox took about 12, kept Barney and Chester then when the hens stopped laying for 5 months ended up selling everyone

Don't know why they stopped, they weren't molting they weren't sick they didn't have lice or mites, dad thinks I under fed them but they were getting about 10lbs a day plus free range in the woods. There were only 20 of them and the 10 ducks, he thinks the ducks ate everything but the chickens were always first to the feeders. Thus he's forbidden my keeping ducks and chickens together.
