Hello from North Georgia

Starting with a variety of breeds makes the chickens a little easier to tell apart and depending on your breeds could make for a more colorful egg basket...

That being said, I think Rhode Island Reds are lovely!!

Good luck getting started!

The Blue Ridge mountain chain is a specific part of the Appalachian mountains. BRMs run from Pennsylvania to North Georgia, which is why the town is named that. In my opinion, they are the most beautiful.

My wife and I recently moved onto a wooded property outside of Blue Ridge in Georgia. We have been looking at this Back Yard Chicken site for a few weeks gathering information and have decided to take the plunge into keeping chickens, mainly for eggs. The local feed store have 6 week old Rhode Island Red pullets (vaccinated), these seem to a good breed to start with. Any starter tips for us please?
Thanks in advance.

Such a beautiful place. I grew up outside of Atlanta. We used to go up to see Amicalola Falls and to Elijay in the fall for the Apple festival. Closer to Anna Ruby Falls is Helen, if you haven't been there. Cute, but touristy. It's about an hour East of you.
