Lucy, you are just beautiful
I am considering the silkies and bantom Americauna for my byc project. Since my traumatic experience years ago with the larger birds biting, pecking, clawing, and trying to rip my throat out and blind me with their talons and beaks, I want to stay small and timid if possible. The city code here allows up to 5 hens and no roosters after they reach 6 mons. Attwoods will be getting chicks in a few weeks but they don't have much variety.
I can't grow them in the incubator, I am not that brave yet. That takes real guts as we witnessed here on the Duck Chronicals.
I am told Silkies are hard to raise? Husband says chickens that look like furry little bunnies can't lay large enough eggs to make a decent omelet.
Getting the coop at Atwoods too, as hubby's first attempt at making one turned into firewood after closing the door for the first time.
I have to have good layers with sweet dispositions.
You ladies have the knowledge and experience that can't be found in books. My degree is in law, not in raising birds, so any advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated.
I want them large enough for medium eggs and small enough that I can defend myself against them if they decide to rebel and go on the attack and try to scratch out my eyeballs with those talons.
Yes, I am a victim and survivor of my own flock of ducks, geese, RIR chickens and a peacock turning on me and trying to kill me. I am sure it was the mean one eyed RIR rooster that instigated the attack.
So any ideas you gals have on chicks that are good with small children and cowardly adults, would be a godsend as I haven't got a clue.
My dear friends, I beseech your kindness and knowledge in seeking nice birds.
NO Godzilla chickens. I don't want to have to wear riot gear just to feed them.
Help please!
