I currently have chickens that are a buff orphington / game rooster cross and they seem to be just wild enough to survive free range around here. Their birds really sound good so I will try some when the weather gets a little warmer. We tried a couple cornish cross as a test and they just couldn't handle the environment. I think some of my young roosters were more like pheasants the way they could fly.
