We are fairly new to chickens and will be entering some in the county fair soon. When you do this, should you have all one kind of chicken in your flock so that you don't have mixed breeds? Or does it work that way? How are the breeding habits? Do the roosters just breed with any old hen...
I'm getting frustrated with my little Old English bantie rooster!! I go into the coop to get my one egg and he just will not quick flying up at my legs trying to attack me. I kick him back and tell him no and he just keeps coming back. Probably 15 times in a row. The other 2 roosters were...

Cool! If you happen to get down this way, let me know and we can meet up. I don't know OKC too well. I know where Bass Pro and the mall are. Wish you were doing the pickup thing this week. Goldsby is about 20 minutes north of me!!

Just found the Okie thread. I'm Jamie, I live outside of Wayne. We just started with chickens this year. We have 4 banties. We also have 3 guineas.
