Hello,
I am new to this idea of having back yard chickens. I really only want 4 high productive non brooding ones that lay brown eggs. I have picked my 4 from Meyer hatchery but they are not available until June 4Th. I choose this Hatchery because the limit is 3 chickens instead of most places requiring 15 or more.
Here are my choices any advice would be greatly appreciated
Barred Rock
Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
Partridge Rock
Golden Bluff
I like a few others that were not available.
This hatchery had pretty good prices also.
We have the room we own a landscape business and have plenty of land. I would like to grass feed as much as possible so I want to build a Mobile hutch for them but also keep them in the winter months...I live in Northern Indiana.
I will read through much of the site to gather ideas on how best to do this. One question is if I get the chicks in June when do they start to actually lay eggs?
Thanks everyone
