Hi, after 2 years chicken-less after a housefire and emergency rehoming, we are finally ready to get some new hens. We are looking to get hens/pullets anywhere up to 1.5 yrs, but right now if I do chick's needing brooding I want to get breeds we really want, ya know? I'm in Osage City ks...

I posted these on the old thread. I didn't realize there was new one. I am working on calicos for myself. Around here the colors seem boring. I want something pretty. This is my main rooster: This is his son, which I kept as a back up until I can find another I like better. My roommate...
