    Hi! New member in Eastern Ontario

    I want to get 4 hens, but I wanted to get 1 each of 4 different breeds, and Performance Poultry (the only local-ish breeder of fancier chickens I know) will only do them in bigger batches, and some of them are only available straight run, and I can't have a rooster (and I'm WAY too soft to get...
