Good morning from Virgina!

[LisaVMN13]

My husband and I just moved to the lovely, peaceful countryside after years of traffic, noise, sirens, crime, etc in the crowded city. We plan to build up the native habitat, and raise bees and chickens. We would like to have a small flock of about 6 hens. I was thinking Black Australorps, Dominques, and Easter Eggers would be good.
I started reading and following a couple of chicken groups on Facebook- that's how I found you. Chicken people seem to be wonderful sharing folks! Any encouragement would be grand! Also would love to hear if I have any "neighbors" in the Buckingham/ Cumberland area.

Welcome to BYC! The breeds you’ve chosen are all good breeds. If you were to add another, I’d suggest Black Copper Marans or Welsummer. They both lay dark chocolate eggs.

I'm in that area I'm in Powhatan County

Welcome to BYC Grab a roost and settle on in

I usually order my chicks from Hertzler Farm, but I'm incubating chicks right now. I have lots of breeds and I love them all!
