Finally got out to the country and now need chickens. I want about 25 chicks to start off with. Put 20 of them in the freezer after growing them out and save 5 for egg laying. I will do my own "processing" as I have dressed out uncounted game animals over the years.
What breed is the best for...
Living in the 'burbs and deciding to get three or four chickens. A loophole in our codes here in Nashville seems to allow fowl as long as they are not a "nuisance".
Buff Orphingtons have been recommended. These will be "pets", used for egg production and absolutely not eaten.
Any Input?
Thanks...
