The key is build a bullet proof pen for those domesticated wussie chickens.
Or.......get some that fight back when they are being taken P.O.W.
They don’t need pens, laying boxes, or shelter, when they roost they will helicopter straight up like a turkey in a 30ft pine tree. I have saw them whoop off cats, dogs, snakes, red tail hawks and kids. Sure every once in awhile one gets killed or dies....just call that the week link in the flock and better off KIA.
The beasts I refer to is the mighty .................Game.................
But might want to keep more hens than roosters....or it could get a lil sporty!
You are sure right about game chickens. Our neighbor down the road had some that hung around his barn. We were standing outside by the barn one day shootin the chit and all of a sudden we saw a chicken hawk swoop down behind some round bales. We heard an awful squable and then we saw the hawk trying to fly away with a hen in his grip. That hen was putting a whoopin on that hawk.
The hawk only made it about a few feet above the round bales and had to drop the hen. We couldn't believe our eyes.
