Quote: We have an auction of animals not far from me every Wednesday starting in the spring & my plan was to go and see about aquiring a few more hens after I get the new hoop coop done. And that is a great idea bee. I can get a hen to *practice* on. I have Walts or maybe it was Freds words ringing in my head telling me what to look at/for in hens to tell me what would be a good choice. Plus all the OT pics as well. Plus there is a chicken show coming up in a few months that I plan on attending so I can look at the different birds & maybe meet some owners to get some advice. I wont ever be showing hens but I want to soak up all the knowledge I can so my mutts are at least good quality for the purpose I want them for.
I think it's a good plan, hands on, and by doing it the way you described you'll garner more info from super experienced folks who realy truely are willing to help. You'll learn more in a day than you could read in a year.
