Hello, from Manhattan, KS

Hello all,

The family and I have decided to start raising chickens. I look forward to learning from everyone out there. I think we are going start with some Wyndottes and Easter Eggers. From my reading them seem to be friendly, good dual purpose, and hearty birds. So I am excited regarding this new endevour and cant wait to get started.

Welcome and good luck.

Space, fresh air, good food, fresh water and all will be well.

Lots of good breeds in the world.
Start with a short list of those adaptable to your climate, then choose based on your personality, wants and needs.
Use these charts.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Wyandottes and EEs are both really nice breeds, should make for a nice egg basket also. ChickenCanoe gave you some good links to check out for more breeds. Be sure to check out the BYC Learning Center, lots of nice articles on all aspects of poultry keeping you'll find helpful with your new flock https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Centerand it is always fun to check out your state thread for chicken keeping neighbors and what breeds etc they are happy with https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/248925/consolidated-kansas
