[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 252555, member: 3444"] They grow amazingly fast! Yes, the reds are very striking, aren't they? Supposedly we'll get brown eggs from them. The feathers on the blacks have an irridescent green and sometimes blue, depending on how the light hits them. Very pretty. The blacks seem to be a bit smarter than the reds, but they are more slight in their build. The reds probably outweigh the blacks 2:1. The local hawk(s) have already discovered them and have been seen just hovering above our yard, no doubt pondering how they can get at them when they're in their run (an 8-foot mesh cube)! We do let them out for short periods to roam the yard when we're outside. I think they have the safety in numbers advantage that Herbert never did. Four pairs of eyes are much better at spotting danger than just one! [/QUOTE]
