I'm gettng 6 chicks next week and am very excited! I'm getting 3 Rhode Islands and 3 Australorps!
My friend purchased several sexed chicks, and as we know, sexing isn't always 100% accurate. Her Easter Egger wound up being roo instead of a hen, and she can not keep him in her neighborhood...
I'm moving to 5 acres in less than then 2 months and would like to get chickens in the future. Right now, I'm learning all I can about them, their care, housing, etc.
My question is this: Can I keep Orpingtons with Silkies? I'm wanting the Orpingtons for the eggs and Silkies I just find...
