Thanks for the info. I'm pretty serious and I'm looking forward to all the hard work I'm sure it's going to take but I'd love to cut out as much trial and error as possible. I bought my first Phoenix trio from a private breeder and I'm very pleased with them. I'll post a picture of them soon...
Thanks for the welcome everyone. And yes drumstick diva, I built all of my pens before I bought my chickens so I could be prepared. I have my brood pens and boxes built as well as several chicken coops. :)
I'm beginning to buy a few breeds and my daughter is going to start showing. We are also looking to start a breeding program and selling fertile eggs.
I'm hoping someone can give me some insight so I'm not headed in the wrong direction.
At the moment I have golden nuggets, rir, sussex...
