Thanks for all the suggestions!
It is nice to know there is so much support out there for us beginners!
The winters aren't too bad where I am at so I am leaning towards Easter Eggers.
I will definately use the best breed thread DirtCreature listed first before I make any final decisions.
I am new to this whole keeping chickens thing and wondered if anyone had suggestions as to what it a good breed for beginners?
I need a layer who is easy to handle and hardy to disease. I am in the beginning stages doing research on chickens and can't decide. Any ideas?
