As some of you know I've had issues with picking lately. Along with a new addition to the coop, I want to replace some of the birds I've lost this spring. However when I look at the dozens of variety's available at Mcmurray or wherever, I get overwhelmed.
I keep saying "I want some of those, and some of those, etc, etc." Eventually I end up wanting 50 chickens and defeating the purpose.
I know this is kind of a personal choice sort of question. But I'm just wondering how other people have decided in the past. What do you do? Do you have a whole bunch of different kinds? Or do you concentrate on one, maybe two breeds and try to raise them to the best of your ability?
