I am in the beginning of my chicken journey. I am building a house in the fall and will be adding chickens to the clan. I am a nurse practitioner by profession and love the idea of my own food and sources so I know where things came from as it were. I have so many questions and although I am reading the sheer amount of chicken info is amazing. I mean where do I start???? I get the coop thing as I wish to have around 10 chickens. I was told to purchase the chicks and put in a brooder for a few weeks until they can go outside. However what chicks to I get. I saw the choices and thought HUH??????? I want large brown eggs and chickens who are calm and not possessed. I would like to have lots of eggs so I know there are some who are egg laying fools! Do I need a rooster????? Is his role to keep the ladies in line???? I suppose I am reading so much gray that just having those in the know give me some black and white answers would be nice to give me a start. I am a planner so even though I am literally in the beginning of it all I like to have a plan.
I am soooo happy to have found this group!!!!
