So many beautiful pictures!! So many beautiful breeds to choose from... not hard to see how chicken math gets a toe hold! I'm in sooooooo much trouble (and I'm just working on my beginning list!)

Yes, there are alot of breeds out there to be sure!

Are you leaning twards the daul purpose breeds of the egg laying strains?

Mrs Fluffy, while I would like to try dual purpose, I am allowed to keep chickens on two conditions:

1) NONE are to be eaten
2) DH does not take care of them in any way.

I expect #2 to fall by the wayside, he's a bigger sucker for critters than I am and KNOW he won't be able to resist them. But #1 is here to stay, if I want edible birds I am to locate someone locally who offers them ready for the table (and no I can't send mine to them to be "prepared"... I tried that one, won't fly).

That doesn't mean a couple won't make their way to the coop, after all, pretty is pretty, just that they won't be eaten

I love this pic of Shiphted's....reminds me of Chicken Little : "oh no! The sky is falling!"
