Okay, like I said in my intro I am new here and I have a few questions. This one being the big one poking my head. And I need some help from "experienced" chicken people.
I am about to order chicks from Belt hatchery (0ut of fresno, Ca) for our starting flock. Everyone wants different breeds, and I am personally wondering about roosters. So I am gonna lay some out here and hope ya'll can help me out.
Breeds I want:
Black Giants (<3)
Ausralorps
White Bramas
Breeds my girls want:
White Leghorns
Barred Rocks
Danish Brown Leghorns
I really like the Silver Seabright bantams and my hubby like the old engilsh ones. I have been thinking about a few silkies because I think I want a couple of broody hens to hatch out thier own eggs.
What about roosters? I like them crowing
But would a rooster of each breed I pick be okay, or keep only one
We are leaning towards the Australorps, White leghorns/ Brown Leghorns for the flock. We will also be adding a few chicks from an egg hatching project if I can find any fertile eggs. HELP!!
