Good article about adjusting to the realities of raising chickens

Our minds work in similar ways....I want to be successful with my first flock but am a little bored with the obvious cold-hardy DP breeds and I don't even have them yet. I'm very interested in Bielefelders, and several others that you mentioned. I worried that GFF is just a hatchery with "farm" in it's name...so wondered about quality/longevity etc. (My friends and family remind me that I'm an "over-thinker"). So I'm glad to know you felt they were a good source. I'm mainly interested in eggs....and the hobby of chicken-keeping....not concerned about meat and processing...with the small numbers I'll keep I don't see the point. Much in your article is thought-provoking and valuable....thanks for sharing.

I like GFF very much. If to go to their website check out their blog and press releases. Very interesting to see how they evolved. I can also say this - with my first order, one of the breed I wanted to try was a Queen Silvia. They called to as me if if be OK with a substitute. They added an additional 2 bresse and a Liege fighter - would have cost an additional approx 125. They answered email and have been really helpful.

I enjoyed this article. I think many people start off with the idea of eggs and meat perhaps then find that it's the chicken that holds their interest. An egg is an egg when all's said and done.
