LOVE your avatar - haven't seen anything like it. You must be one of a kind. Glad to meet you.

Thanks you for your warm welcome! I live in Eastern WA, in the foothills. (I have satellite internet connection that did not want to behave, sorry for my early exit on the forum last night. Today I am at work) I am unsure on what to get. Where I live is a typical four seasons and right now, there isn't really much to choose from. My coop will fit four comfortably. I would like a hearty chicken that is a great producer. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Nice to meet you as well, motorcycles are my "other' ride. I am excited to be here as well.

You're welcome. Since you live in a cold winter area and have room for only four hens, I would suggest Black Sex Links (Black Stars). They are cold hardy, friendly, egg laying machines, laying right through cold winters. I have raised them for years and mine have consistently churned out over 300 eggs per bird per year.

Oh, and love bikes!! Have had many. Working on restoring a classic KZ600 right now. Well, kinda slow. My $$$ is a little sore. Ya know?
