    Which breed should I buy?

    Thanks yet again all!! I've settled on EE and/or Buff Orphington. Just have to wait until next spring-ish to get them, probably from McMurray. Trying to see if I can talk hubby into building my coop sooner, we will see. Can't wait!!

    Hi, new member that could use advice in the Philly suburbs

    Hi! I am Prize, I've joined so that I could learn more about chickens before I commit to getting myself a pair. I live in Pennsylvania, so we have all 4 seasons. I has a yard slightly under 1000sq ft. My plan is to build a coop, tractor and then next spring get a pair of young hens to keep as...
