Hello all. I've been lurking here for a few days and decided to join. Raised chickens for a few years, many years ago, and plan to resume this spring. Back then I had some mixed game chickens that were started from a trio my uncle gave me. The predators finally wiped me out. I enjoy most anything food related and the older I get the more I have become interested in self sufficiency. When I'm finally able to retire in a few years would like to grow all our food. Been enjoying reading what the folks here have to say while I plan on how to build accomodations for the birds and just what type to get. The plan now is to get a couple dozen straight run chicks, maybe Wyandottes. We will eat all but 4-5 hens and a rooster this summer and see how it goes from there.
Welcome. My Dad's people were farmers and pioneered Colquitt Cty. This is the place to come to for everything regarding chickens.
