RE: The Complexities Of Raising Hybrid Chickens
We are in the process of building a shelter and a pen so as to keep chickens safe from predators, namely dogs and coyotes. We are going to be gong with heritage chickens just for the reasons you mentioned in your post. I am looking forward to having our own eggs and meat.
A secure shelter and outdoor area will definitely save you a lot of stress and heartache. It's well worth the extra effort. Heritage chickens are truly lovely. We've always had a mixed flock and it's fun pulling out all the different colours of eggs. Chickens are such crazy and colourful characters. It's fun (mostly).
