Kelly's Chickens :
I was really hoping to get some from someone who breeds them so they don't look like all the other hatchery chickens I've bought. They all seem to have the same body shape even though they are different breeds. Someone told me that BR's are known for pecking each other and feather pulling. I may look into getting some Wyandott's instead since they are a dual purpose breed and are purported to be gentle.
You might also want to look at Sussex....they are a good duel purpose and mine have been very gentle. Wyandottes are good choice too. Either way it might be hard to find any breeders in MS. I have not found any SS breeders (or other duel purpose breeds) to in my area, so I have had to gamble with hatching eggs from breeders on here from other states.
It don't always get good hatches from shipped eggs.
Good Luck to you.
