    What breed for New York Chickens?

    I found BackyardChickens.com in the spring of 2015. We used the site and the members to find out all the details we needed to get started. We bought 6 Golden Comets and put them in a big dog crate on the back screen porch. Then we had to race to build our coop using a model found on the...
