I have been chicken-less for 20 years, but am now located in a 1923 farmhouse on 1 acre in coastal SC, Andrews, a TINY rural town. We just rec'd the "Brown Egg Layers" assortment Thursday afternoon. The Chicken Mansion is almost complete, and the chicks are currently residing in our master bathroom claw foot tub. LOL I've been ghosting BYC for about a year and plotting my new chicken adventure!
Growing up, we didn't have much of selection (that I was aware of) and got whatever the feed store offered - RIR, Dominique, Barred Rocks, random yellow chicks and black hens of some sort. Straight runs and the extra boys got butchered on my uncle's working farm... All I can say now is WOW! I impressed with all the variety and egg colors available. We are super interested in Heavies, Wyandottes, Orpingtons and Marans. But there are just SO MANY to choose from.
This site is a wonder for my first pasty butt, and a possible head-scratching-while-cheeping-loudly chick situation. Keeping fingers crossed we won't lose any more any time soon...Thanks for all the great info BYC!
