brichooks Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi I was house sitting for my Mum recently and unfortunately her last chicken died (aged 12 ). My Mum would like to get some more chickens but would prefer not to have ones like mine that trash the garden so am just wondering if anyone could recommend any relatively placid non-scratching types from experience?! I've heard that ones with feathered feet are the least likely to. Thanks in advance for your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Pekin bantams Any bantam is less likely to trash the garden, but pekins have masses of personatilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have 2 bantams currently free to a good home- a Poland & a Silkie. Neither of them make a mess at all. Where abouts is your mum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
