Neat! Chix are cool to have around. We have 2 roosters now that were raised together and don't fight. We want to add a few laying hens soon but have not yet. Roos are LOUD and we shut them in the barn overnight so that they are protected from predators and also so we don't get woken up at 5am with them at the window! They are free-range during the day and can well defend themselves. One is a Rhode Island red and the other is a white.
