If I had a place to keep them penned up I would get some silkies. I don't think free ranging would be good for longevity however.

My friend free ranges his and they do great. But I guess it depends on what you have for predators, he doesn't have any daytime predators.

Monster silkies!

Standard of Perfection in the US says 32 oz for hens, 36 oz for roosters
