Hi!

Hi,
I have had Isa Browns for years. We only have one left and I am planning in getting chicks for Christmas. There is so much useful information on here. Thank you everyone.

Welcome to BYC, Where are you plan on getting your
new flock from Mail Order, Mail Order Eggs not a good
idea or from someone locally.....

I'm getting them from a local breeder. I might try getting eggs in the future if i get a broody hen, but I probably won't try mail. My only fear is that some will turn out to be roosters.

That perturbs a lot of people, it's not what happens IF you get males - you will definitely get males - how many is uncertain but, even 1 is a problem if you have no takers.

Some people think nothing about making dinner or soup out of extra males. Others are horrified by the thought. I'm not taking sides - people have to do what they are comfortable with.

So it's good to have a plan b.
