None. He wants to get some chickens, but he wants to get some breed of
them that lays low cholesterol eggs. We just went to see what sort of
stuff is available.

I think Jack Russells get along fine with livestock. they are quite
popular in horse stables. A friend of mine bred them and had barn full
of horses. My Belgium Shepherd loves horses and goats. I often take him
along with me to my riding lessons. He goes to see the goats first and
then checks out all the horses. They all seem to like him too.
