Hello All.. I just moved to Nevada on a few acres and we would like to raise a few egg laying hens.
I would like to get some help with picking the right breeds for our climate and needs.
We are looking for great hardy egg layers that can handle the heat and cold.
I have been doing a little research and have favored the Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock hens but
I want to be sure that they can handle the weather safely and fit our needs of approx. a dozen eggs a week.
I am looking for any suggestions and help
Thank you
