Let's say that i wanted to get some eggs this coming year... I'm trying to figure out timing on getting chickies
I'd like to get them outside as soon as it's safe. How long should I realistically expect to keep them in the house before they can go outside? (I'm in Kentucky, so weather is weird to say the least.) I was thinking that if they have to be kept in for 6-8 weeks, then I could get them in January, and by early March it would be warm enough to move them to the barn? The barn is currently unheated. I'm a planner.. I like to have schedules. As far as types, I was thinking 2 barnvelders, 2 black starrs, 3-4 Ameracunas, 2 welsummers, 2 mille fluers, and 2-5 silkies
So some egg chickens, some pet chickens. No roos. I want eggs, not an alarm clock. Is that too many different kinds? I was hoping for a variety of eggs...
