Welcome to BYC! Beware chicken math is lurking
Me too. I had bought my nephew and his son 5 started pullets last May that included a Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, Dominique, Golden Comet and an Easter Egger. They have done very well together and make a pretty flock. And they lay eggs most every day. I got them from Blue House farm in Fletcher, NC and the lady there is super nice.Hello!
I’m a bit partial towards buff Orpingtons...
I have my work cut out for me! I’m taking my time and focusing on my coop and run way in advance of getting them. I’m starting at 2-4 to start. I’m ignoring chicken math! I want to see how that goes first. Lol I really wanted at least two Silkies but most sites require so many and they aren’t sexed so I’m not sure I’d do that. What would I do with males?? I am not allowed to have roosters. I feel like that would be irresponsible to do if I didn’t have someone who would take the males... any advise? I’m already looking on pets for sale etc sites and I contacted shelters to let them know I’m interested if they have any come in.Hi Beth! Welcome to BYC!
Buff Orpingtons are a wonderful breed! As are barred Rocks! Easter Eggers and cream Legbars give you colorful eggs... Faverolles are sweet and goofy....
This is one way chicken math starts... how to choose just one breed when there are SO many
