Hello all from Illinois!
I have no chickens yet but am hoping to start a flock in the next month. My grandmother raised chickens in her farm and I helped her every summer. I live in town, versus my grandmothers farm, so my flock will be a bit smaller. I will be raising pet chickens (egg layers) and not planning to butcher. I am planning to purchase oberlings due to recommendations and research. I am very excited to be part of a group that lives chickens!
