we quite like our one leghorn. She's a mighty producer of large white eggs and not at all as flighty as we had been told she would be. Tomorrow I add 5 new ones to the coop, 3 more ameraucanas and 2 cochins

chickens are cheap, easy, and fun...and it is quite possible to go away for a weekend and have no problems with them. Backyard Chickens for Dummies is actually quite good, written by the guy who started backyardchickens.com

good to know the book.

raised ducks successfully for ages, so other than a body of water, i imagine it's a little similar. ours were "free range". they were everywhere on the property.
