I'm new to the site and have only been raising chickens since April 2010, I did grow up with both sets of grandparents raising chickens for food, eggs and pets. So far eggs and pets yes not yet into the food idea because I love every single one that I have. I'm located in Ala close to Pell City, if anyone knows where that is. My questions is does anyone know where to get EE in this area, I already have a guy I get my RIR's from (local very local and great guy) I try to keep things as local as possible, but have been reading all your comments about Cackle, Sandhill and a few more. I do know not crazy about Murray(sp?) Thanks for any help. Oh sorry as of right now I have Dutch bantam, Japanese bantam, RIR's and a goat name "Bob" not to forget my English bulldog "Toby". My bannies were all given to me by a friends grandfather, my son bought the RIR's from our local guy that has fantastic looking birds. Oh I did forget my 2 Dominick's I snuck them in. This website is great
