Well, glad I found this thread! Nice to know there are so many people close by!
Glad that I didn't find out about the swap earlier! LOL We are just starting our chicken jorney and I know for a fact I would have ended up bringing home some new ones and we are NOT ready for that!
Yet!
Just as an FYI ... the breeds we would be looking for are: BCM's, RIR, New Hamp's ... just to start
. We all know how chicken math works. Right now we have 6 BO chicks and 7 "Red's" from the TSC Red Pullet bin. I'm pretty sure most of them are Production Red's but 2 of them I'm not sure about yet.
Anyway, a couple months or so down the road we'll be looking to add to our current "crew" ... nice to know there are options out there besides TSC/hatchery chicks!
