They are nice, mild, sweet hens that lay big brown eggs. Emily babied several as chicks and kept 3 favorites.<BR/>Nancy, my cats used to hunt our chickens. Eventually, they got over it. Maturity is part of that, but I think having ducks really changed their perception of birds--they don't try to tackle the big birds. I don't let small sized chicks outside a little fenced yard, though, only BIG ones.Gail Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644852656633107525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036390833719709995.post-59995030760657081322007-10-07T19:44:00.000-05:002007-10-07T19:44:00.000-05:00I'm with Emily!

I'm worried about putting my new chickens out with the sheep for fear that my cats will kill them!Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036390833719709995.post-62014226666948059792007-10-06T22:10:00.000-05:002007-10-06T22:10:00.000-05:00I saw some buff orpington roosters today at the ex...I saw some buff orpington roosters today at the exotic animal auction!! 4-8 dollars.
