Hi!!

My husband, Al, says "you're welcome" to everyone, and we both very excited to get our first chickens. I've started my research on which chickens would be the best for us. I am very suprised to see how many different kinds of chickens exist!

Murray McMurray has an excellent "chick selector" tool at https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/chick_selector.html to help you determine which breeds are best for you. Just be sure and click on "show more characteristics." Even if you don't purchase your birds from Murray, the "chick selector" is still a valuable tool. :eek:)
 
Hi Michael. Thank you for the suggestion on the "chick selector" tool and the link....I am addicted to the site already!! I had made the decision to start with Dominiques and the selector tool confirmed my decision. The site has a lot of information too (or at least it seems like a lot to a newbie like me!!). Al and I have been voraciously reading everything we can on chickens and I just purchased Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens. I have read Storey's Guide to Keeping Honey Bees, and if the book is anything like that one it will be a very useful tool. In the meantime, we are learning to care for fowl with our six guineas!
