    Your very last chicken... what would it be?

    Oops, sorry, forgot to clarify that part! When hatched and sexed, the males would then be raised and butchered at the appropriate time for the freezer. :) But of course, you are right. I need to be more strong willed and keep our goals in mind. If I can just do that then this choice will...

    Your very last chicken... what would it be?

    That’s the dilemma I’m having as of this moment. I’m internally struggling between having a colorful flock with colorful eggs and colorful personalities over just surefire egg and meat producers lol. I think I have 8 different breeds on my spring chick list as of right now. :idunno My husband...

    Ended Do You Need A Rollaway Nest Box? - Win A Free Nest Box From Urban-Egg.com

    I would definitely love to be given the opportunity to win a nesting box like this. I can easily envision this coming in handy this winter as the girls get a bit restless in the colder Kentucky weather. As the daylight hours grow shorter their time outside is understandably near and dear to...

    Your very last chicken... what would it be?

    There’s definitely nothing wrong with a sexlink. I’m pretty partial to them myself, they’re just so friendly and superb layers. :)

    Your very last chicken... what would it be?

    :lau Good answer, lol! I like the way you think! I’d have one of each breed if I could as well. My husband on the other hand is the more practical one as his go to breed would be white leghorns, hands down.

    Your very last chicken... what would it be?

    If you could only have one breed for the rest of your days, what would it be? What is the one chicken that will always have a place in your coop (and heart) and why? :) Just curious to see all the responses and reasonings because I may or may not be needing to see what else I can add to my...

    Best egg-laying breed for kids?

    Might I suggest bantam ameraucanas and bantam Rhode Island reds? :) I’ve never personally owned an ameraucana (shocking, I know) but I have had RIRs and the ones I’ve had were certainly friendly and very nice layers. You can find both of these breeds on Murray McMurray hatchery’s website.

    Delaware VS White Rock VS other?

    Very true. I should have clarified that temperament is more for my own personal enjoyment, a bonus if you will, rather than an actual requirement. Nasty dispositions do not last long around here. I just like to have breeds that are as happy to see me as I am them. I have no shame in admitting I...

    Delaware VS White Rock VS other?

    Oh, they are gorgeous! I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for a well built, blocky hen. Lol But thank you for your input! Another point towards Delaware.

    Delaware VS White Rock VS other?

    Thank you for the sex link info and recommendations Compost King! I didn’t even think about the white rocks being this way. I know using white leghorns is a no no but didn’t even consider this also holding true with the rocks as dumb as it sounds. I will definitely look into the ranger x...
