Hello from Alaska!

[Damsar]

Hello!

My family just moved to Alaska and are excited to have our own chickens this year, maybe next. This looks like a great place to start getting ready. Anyone have suggestions for good AK chickens? We'll be doing free range around the yard,... when we can see it

Thanks,
Dawn

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody!

Thanks for the links redsocks! I have done a bit of looking, but need to get in a bit farther. I do need to check into the Alaska links, so far I'm liking the Golden Sex Links.
