Hi! I have been considering raising chickens for eggs and pets for a while. My daughter in Wyoming has been trying to raise awareness in her town for months now, but still not able to keep just a few hens in her back yard. I was so surprised to hear some of the dis-information and down right hatefulness she has run into in an area I would have thought more aware of the many benefits of having a few hens in the backyard. She has done a lot of research and much educating. I have 6 ac. I have decided it's time to take advantage of the opportunity I have here. I'm still trying to figure out which breed to choose, but will be purchasing 6 this week. I'm thinking Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandotte of some kind. The local grain store had some California Grays. Any experience out there? And what is an "EE"?
