Several Islands of the Keys have feral chickens. Cant remember the name of them.

Like I sais my birds are not totally on their own-- fencing limits the access of many predators. And only having a few types, the fencing stops most. Having the preserve next door keeps those wild animals well fed. And my birds have several roosters that are ever vigilant--- the boys stay on alert watching. Only one eats at a time, a co-ordinated effort. At night they come to the barn for the night-- the barn they grew up in. After hatching, they are kept in a stall with lots of food and water and a fierce momma.

I love that the girls come back to that stall to lay their eggs.

Yesterday I made up a chicken egg and a turkey egg. The turkeys are penned, and their food is corn and soy based-- and the eggs look VERY pale. WOndering what I can do to change their feed for better eggs.
