Welcome to BYC! I started with chickens over the summer and the people of BYC have been great. Please visit my BYC Page for my blog links that you may find informative or amusing.

As a first time owner, it is hard to go wrong with a small flock of Buff Orpington pullets or hens. They will give you about 1 egg a day (or every other day). Be sure to feed pullets the grower feed and when they start laying you can start cutting over to layer feed. Layer feed has 16% protein with complete vitamins and minerals. Personally I prefer M-G 20 for my layers (20% protein) even though I was swimming in eggs for a while.
