Hello from Asheville

I've been on BYC for 2 hours and now I have more question then when I started. haha My husband and I moved to NC a year ago. We have a 3 month old daughter, 12 hens and 5 baby chicks. We are raising our gals organically and some of the eggs are going to a local BnB. We have two hen yards with 1 coop in each yard. We have small coop designs and 1 flock currently free ranges but they will all eventually roam around together.
Any tips on where to find some Lavender Orpingtons down here? Do you think they'd be a good breed for us considering we are selling eggs? Or should I go with some Rhode Island Reds or Wyandottes??? I'm afraid of introducing any mousy breeds to our big girls. Thanks for listening folks!

Hello and Welcome. Love, Love Ashville. I'm in Eastern NC. If you scroll down on this forum to Buy ~ Sell ~ Trade, there maybe some breeds you're looking for. Or try Craigslist ~ Charlotte area. You could also look at poultry classified section at NC Agricultural Review here: http://www.ncagr.gov/paffairs/AgReview/class.htm
