Hi all! Im new to chickens. Brand new!! Yesterday my husband and I went to a Chick Day at our local feed store and decided to give it a try. I chose two Barred Plymouth Rocks, One Rhode Island Red, One Black Sex Link, & one Aracauana. And I just ordered one White Silkie from a farm down the road that I should get soon.
So far so good. Although I know nothing. I am reading and listening to everyone about how to do this. As of today, the RIR is my best friend. The BSL is next in line. I am trying hard to make them think im mama... my husband laughs at me cooing at them.
I picked these because I thought they were good egg layers and friendly. Very important for them to be friendly. But when searching on BYC, I saw in the breeds forum that the RIR are Mean birds! That they kill the others. Oh boy I hope not.
So here I am to learn.
