great advise. I had picked RIR because I thought they were milder in personality. I am looking for good layers and friendly. I will check about varieties in looks. The kids were thinking how to distinguish theirs too.
50 lbs of feed a week? is that if the feed is their only source of food?
Hello,
I am excited about this forum because I hope to start keeping chickens in my backyard. I've got the whole family excited about it. But we are experimenting because I've never done it. Each one of my kids want to keep 3-5 chickens, starting out from chicks. Any advise is welcome. DH...
