aww cute. yea the silkies would be more for pets and maybe sitting on eggs.

thank you all

dont know wanting to here back from a job interveiw my hubby had.

Thats what I have read so the easter eggers should help there.

I going to love going out my door and having all my animals there to greet me.

Yea i kind of like being busy keeps my mind ocupied.

Ok thanks you are a great help. now all i have to do is move build a home , get my horse and donks set up , build a coop and brooder. buy the chicks and I'm good to go.

ok which kind of rooster would be best in that group?

Thank you and thanks for all the info in my other thread.

Can you intoduce a rooster later in the flock?

I thought about breeding but I probably wont at first. I think maybe 3-4 of each. Is that to much to start out with. we dont have our land yet and have lots to do before starting the venture but I wanted to collect all the info i can .

Thank you everyone.

I just say easter eggers come in bantam size too. would there little eggs be enough to feed a family of three? Should I get one rooster?

Ok sounds good. so would it be best to get day old chicks? keep then together in the brooder and then add them to the coop? where is the best place to get these types of chickens?

Thanks very much great info. so you think it would be better to keep ilkies alone then? they are the breed i wanted most anlong with the polish they r so cute. the easter eggers would be so we can all have good eggs to eat. Polish come in bantam size as well dont they?
