ok so here I am sitting down to type this out, I've been a silent member for awhile and peeked in BYC before that, So I have had a long and extended case of chicken fever waiting for the move to the new house settling in ect ect, three years of rather intensive research later I'm finishing the last bits of my coop and it's winter!! where are all the chicks omg I have to wait until spring? ok a bit more patience, but maybe since I cant find the breeds I want right now maybe a couple chicks of a local barnyard mix just to break in the coop over winter, worse case a nice meal over winter, start training the dogs get a mini chicken fix. anyways the chickens I would like and hoping will work well are, for my rooster I'd like to have a buff Brahma, a hen as well, orpingtons, astrlops, wyndott, americona's a,d speckled sussex I would love to hear from ppl on their thoughts of the breeds any issues with them as mixed flock, I have a big case of chicken fever and want to do things right , my objective is to have lotsa eggs and some meat for the freezer with a sustainable flock and lotsa chicken fun along the way I am also a avid gardener so they will be my lil garden helpers as well in a permaculture garden. here's a pic of the coop still have the free range area to fence, and my garden . Please feel free to share info of things you might feel is important for me to be aware of as a new chicken owner thanks so much nice to meet everyone
