Jamie, welcome! I used to raise Leghorns for the eggs. They are awesome layers. Great eggs, and BIG! I'm in Eastern Ky and now own silkies, polish, and sussex. As well as 12 white sultan hens I am selling right now. They are only 10 weeks old, but they are big.
Welcome to BYC! You have come to the coolest place on the internet for chicken knowledge.
I started with chickens last summer and the people of BYC have been great. This year I have tried hatching and buying chicks for even more chickeny joy. Please visit my BYC Page for my blog links that you may find informative or amusing.
