I have a small coop and successfully raised ISA's, Jersey Giants, RIR, and Barred Rock. I let them out every day to free range and they would return to the coop at dusk. Eggs were always laid in the coop nesting box. Never had a problem. Would White or Brown leghorns work, or would they fly...

Follow up question...I've raised Black Sex Link, RIR, Isa Browns, Golden Comets, Jersey Giants in the past.
I assume these are mixed breeds. How do mixed breed hens (and one rooster) compare with an established breed?
Thank you. I just got these and the former owner didn't know the breeds. I wouldn't have guessed BCM. I looked up some pics and I believe you're correct!
