Wow I love this site! I have not actually started raising chickens yet, as I am still in the research mode but I wanted to introduce myself. I am really excited to get going and with a great forum like this one I don't think I will have any trouble getting all the answers I need. My husband and I have been talking about it for sometime now and we finally got all the materials for a coop just the other day. I had my first veggie garden this year and I had so much fun with it. I am really excited to get going on the new endeavor.
I do have one question. I noticed that almost every one has a mixed flock. Are there any pros or cons to having only one breed in your flock verse having a mix of breeds? We are debating between getting Barreds and Rhode Island Reds, but maybe we will just do a few of each.
 
Welcome to BYC. Once you start raising Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, you'll want to get more chicken variety because you'll love them. I believe it's called chicken math.
 
Its so much fun having a mixed flock. You really are able to tell them apart and all the pretty colors chickens come in. So much fun!!!

from Washington State glad you joined us!
 
Welcome! I'm in Idaho too.
I have a mixed flock, but my sisters first flock where all New Hampshires. The NHs are one of the best layers. Its fun to have a mixed flock because you can tell the chickens apart better that way
