We used to have lots and lots of all different kinds of fowl. We couldn't let the chickens run loose due to coyotes, which were really thick around where we used to live. We raised English Pointer bird dogs too...Sadly, the dogs got out one day while we were at work and dug into the chicken house. We had "The Great Chicken Massacre"...very sad. I made DH bury them all. A couple of the roosters made it tricky to get the eggs in the house.
