Hello!!

Everyone has their favorite breeds! I would recommend looking through the breed category to find a breed that suits your specific needs

 

if you go to "where am I, where are you," in the social forum you can locate and post on your state thread. Find out what type of coops, chickens, feed, etc. your neighbors think is best.

 

Hello & welcome!! I don't think you can go wrong with RIRs' or Welsummers. RIRs' are a bit more friendly, but the Welsummers lay a beautiful egg, both are consistent layers. Personally I have RIR's, Welsummers, Delaware, Marans & a Dominique. These girls do serve me well - except during the molt . Have fun selecting your breed(s), Sue

Hello Welcome To BYC and Happy Holidays!

 

Welcome to BYC. All the info. you need is here. Pick a fun and functional coop design from the coops section and start there. I found that chicken shopping when taking a break from coop design and construction helped maintain my enthusiasm. Just about the time I was good and sick and tired of sawdust and staples, my chicks arrived and it renewed my resolve (or kindled the necessary desperation) to finish the coop! Enjoy.
