I would do this... if my property did not also have rivers/creeks. If they can't survive one foot of still water... they wont survive two feet of moving river water (deep, not across). (I live in Appalachia, close to Asheville N.C)
These make sense, I value self-sustainability. I free range mine, in a fruit tree orchard. As such, I value the intelligence of the ones most able to keep themselves out of trouble. As such, out of the hundreds of acres. These are the only ones I have had, no-life themselves by their own hands...
Anyone notice certain breeds are really smart, while others are well... would be better off if they were a flower and could not move?
I have noticed this more with Easter Eggs/Green eggers. IS it normal for them to be suicidal/kill themselves? I have raised wydottes, barred rock, polish...
