[QUOTE="eeshaw, post: 487435, member: 25150"] I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. I enjoy having them around just for the antics they provide. Yes, they can get smelly if you don't stay on top of things. I have a 50 foot run that I keep mine in made out of old kennel panels. The top is covered with the same panels so nothing can get in or out. The ground that the run is on is rocky so nothing is going to tunnel in. Any gaps along the fence line are bordered with rail road ties so it's about like a prison for the most part but they don't seem to mind. They can eat a lot but when grass hoppers and ticks are in abundance they tend to take care of them. I had one incident with a coon(my fault it got into the coop) but it's no longer with us. No problem since. You'll never get rich off them but I find them entertaining and they're pretty much pets. I have 11 of them total right now but I'm planning on getting a few more. [/QUOTE]
