    Breeds for Confinement

    Thank you everyone for your contributions! Based on the feedback, we'll likely add an Orpington, Speckled Sussex, and Brahma in the spring. I'll come back and update with their ratings once they've integrated. In the meantime, I hope more folks will chime in with their experiences. It's been...

    Breeds for Confinement

    I am learning something new every day here! I have to take another look at Brahmas once we get a legit coop built (I don't think it could fit through the Omlet door 😅). Do you have a hard time keeping their feet clean? We scoop our run multiple times a day, but they still inevitably step in...

    Breeds for Confinement

    I hadn't really considered this. I'm guessing the bantam versions have different dispositions than their full-size counterparts? And thank you for listing some specific large-scale breeds! I see a lot of love for Orpingtons and Cochins.

    Breeds for Confinement

    Good morning everyone! 🙂 I was hoping to generate some discussion on which (full-size) chickens breeds you've found to do best in confinement. I'll define "confinement" as being enclosed to the minimum of 10 sqft/bird in the run with limited to no free-range access. I imagine this would...
