We need a border collie first to guard them. Tired of feeding the mink, coyotes, fox, weasels, owls, hawks, and raccoon (not sure what political party they are). We plan on trying the ancona breed next time. We have the pen area cleared and ready to build, but they will likely fly out and wander once they are able. We are in the middle of a large property, so they will not bother anyone else. Without a dog, they will be toast.
