Easy to keep freerange but they have a habit of laing eggs whenever they stand,so it is best to keep them until laid their eggs in some sort of enclosure.Not very good at raising their ofspring so it is much better if mother hen would take care of them that way they learn to comeback to the cop each night.They will rule over the chickens in pecking order.They noisy only when see danger,stranger or something would scare them off,other times are very quaiet.they will always choose bugs over grain-so they great in organic farming as they collect loads of them.Not easy to tame,you have to put some work in that.They wil crossbreed with chickens but they ofspring is infertile.
Beautifull birds to look at and their eggs last longer than chickens.
