I am planning to order my first chicks soon. My DH wants eggs
and my kids want cute
.I want both
. So I have narrowed my choices to some definates(well, pretty sures). They are:EEs,Barred Rocks,Frizzles(bantam),and Silkies.
Now this is where I have a dilemma.I was going to go with RIR (for eggs, of course) but my kids don't care for the dark red look of them.So, I thought about RIWhite.Is there any personality or egg production difference in the two??
My other dilemma is I am in LOVE with the look of Black tailed white Japanese Bantam Roos.I am in upstate New York(some of the coldest weather in US) and we get a decent(quite a bit) amount of snow.Snow usually flies from beg Oct. to sometimes into beg. May.(Ok so when IS summer???).Anyway my concern is that they don't care for foul weather.We also get a decent amount of rain in the spring and summer
.So, how what can I expect? Should I look for a different breed or can I take the Bantam inside during foul weather?? How "foul" is "foul" weather?? Will they adapt somewhat??
Thanks
