Hello from upstate SC

[burke0428]

Just wanted to say hello to BYC. I am a new member just looking for coop ideas and looking forward to getting some chickens. This is all new to me! I am a landscaper and enjoy my garden so composting is a great plus, along with the eggs! Could anyone from the SC area recommend a good egg laying hen for this climate? Thanks for having me.

And find the SC thread in this link to ask some locals about their chicken breed choices:

Finally, here's a link to a chart that compares breeds by attribute. Good luck and enjoy the journey!!
