Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to our flock. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Regarding chickens, do you have a breed preference?

Hello, Thank you. No I have not thought about breed. We are wanting to raise meat and laying hens. I don't know much about raising chickens other than my dad having them when I was growing up on the farm. I have much to learn!

Murray McMurray has an excellent "chick selector" tool at https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/chick_selector.html to help you determine the best breed for you. Just be sure and click on "show more characteristics." Whatever breed you end up getting, good luck with your flock.
