Hello! Thank you!

If I go through a hatchery I'm thinking of ordering some EEs, an Australorp and Wyandotte. There's one breeder I had contacted though that has BCMs, Sussex, Ameraucanas and SFHs, so I may be going through them. I can only have like 5 chickens where I'm at and I'm still trying to make up my mind exactly what I want, lol!

All I gotta say is you will love the gentleness and awesome egg laying of the Australorps!
You will enjoy the nice colored eggs from the EE's or Ameraucanas.
You will love the beauty of the BCM roosters and the dark eggs of the hens.
Not sure which Sussex you are thinking of (Light, Speckled, or Coronation). I'm pretty partial to the Light Sussex because I like the contrast of the black/white colors.
I've never owned the other breeds you listed; maybe one day.

Hope everyone is safe and warm in this weather!

Do you have ice down your way? Driving was very tricky this mid morning. Winter weather is part of my job and sometimes it's very hard to get into some places. In town we had some sleet and some snow,the wind would freeze it as soon as we could get it melted.

Pretty well iced over in south central kentucky. So much sliding around, both me and the chickens!

Yea,and talking a chance of t storms tue and in the sixties. It's been very odd weather for the last three years. About the time the river clears up and you plan a trip for sauger we get four inches of rain. My coops and runs are covered and I don't let them out on nasty days,they don't like that either.

Trying not to slip and fall on my rump!

My sheep seem to have no problem on the ice.
I guess four legs are really better than two.

Four leg drive. I know I have never learned how to fall gracefully.
