So i have become obsessed with chickens and this site does not help at all. I want to buy some baby chicks online. I was thinking about Buff Orpingtons. Does anyone else have any suggestions on a breed besides the standard RIR and NHR? These chickens will be raised in confinement in my backyard so i am looking for that perfect breed. I know RIR are perfect for this but Im trying to mix it up a bit. And another thing. When i go to select the sex it asks if i want the chick vaccinated for an extra $1. Should i say yes? It says it is a Marek's Disease vaccine. I dont know exactly what this means. Any help is appreciated.
