We have 3 hens and a polish/silkie roo in their own coop. Polish roo was very flighty, and not very bright so he got knocked off by a silkie roo of all things! Our PCs wouldn't do well free range, as they're very high strung and not smart. We get a lot of wet weather here and have to keep some kind of 'bedding" , usually wood chips or leaves, down in the coops of the PCs and the silkies. Honestly the only reason we still have the polish is because my husband thinks they're funny. Oh and their coops has lots of roosting areas so they can be up off the ground, they will move between the roots without getting down if it really muddy.
