Hello there BYC community. I have been lurking about the forums - reading and researching and thinking about getting chickens - for some time now, and am finally ready to take the plunge.
I don't have any chickens yet (still need to build that coop, and my are there a lot of pretty coops here!) but my plan is to get 5 hens total; probably a mix of Ameraucana, Welsumer, California Gray, Rhode Island Red, and maybe a Campine. I'm trying to keep an open mind since I'm planning on purchasing the chicks from a local store and I assume it depends on what they have in stock.
My handle is InWrongCentury because I seem to have the wrong hobbies for the 21st century: horseback riding, sewing, archery, oil painting, book making, knitting, and spinning my own yarn. Chickens fit right in!
