Hey there! new to the site, any Urban backyard farmers too?

[AllenK RGV]

I am an avid gardener that lives in a downtown area, in a suburb south of Dayton, Ohio. Recently found out that homeowners can have up to four chickens on their property. So this girl is going to research research research on the best egg layers, when and how to buy them, and all things chickens! I would love to hear from any other people living in a downtown community that owns chickens and also gardens. My lot is a double lot, about less than half an acre.

The livestock conservancy mentions Brahmas as good winter egg layers. Oh, and welcome to BYC! Since you are in OH you might like the Buckeye's too! There is a decent hatchery 150 miles away in Polk, OH. It is Meyers Hatchery or some similar name. https://meyerhatchery.com/index.html if you are willing to do a pickup I betcha they would hatchout whatever you are requesting. they show Brahma for Dec 16 hatchout 3 color patterns, and Buckeyes plus numerous other breeds.

I just thought you knew something that the rest of us didn't, like they'd said something in a different thread. Or that you were using your mind reading skills!

Lol, you're allowed a mistake here and there.

Oh, I certainly hope so!

Hi Leah, welcome to the group! I'm kinda new too, but I've learned a lot from fellow BackYard Chicken folks here, and I'm sure you will, too.
