In the spring

Thank you ALL for the kind words and guidance!!

Hmmm, we are still thinking about what breed to get. Karen wants brown eggs for sure because she said they taste better. I haven't done a taste test yet to verify that. Me personally, I do like to see a variety of sizes and colors of eggs but I realize we need to consider more than that in our selection of what types to get. I just have to figure out what factors are most important to the health of the flock. Right now I have no idea.


Thanks again!!

Ray & Karen.

Do I really have to wait until spring to get chicks? I am having second thoughts on waiting because I am anxious. I was looking at The Americauna, Orpington, jersey Giant, Rhode Island, Marans, and Austorlorpe types. Being in Michigan I thought spring would be my only option?

I just placed my coop in the yard today and posted that in the forum category for coops and construction.

Do these seem like good selections for Michigan for laying? Karen prefers brown eggs.
