I have an Isa brown who lays everyday, a frizzle and 2 new baby leghorns.m I've lost several sillies to disease but they were gorgeous!! My frizzle sits on my lap for cuddles and the two babies follow my very confused poodle around!  The cat ios loftily indifferent!
The Isa free ranges during the day and truthfully has demolished many vegetables!  The 3 smaller ones are in the tractor most of the day but let out when we are in yard.  I've lost one chicken to a dog and one baby taken by crows we think.
They really are my babies!  They are very therapeutic and to me make the house a home!!
