Never ever chicken mom

[ReesaLynn]

I’m trying to find out as much as I can before purchasing my chickens. I need advice as to breed, coop, feed, where to purchase my chickens. I only want 4-6 hens for eggs. I don’t intend on raising chicks.

Hello, and welcome! Sometimes you can find a breeder in your area that might have a few extra hen's or point of lay pullet's. I have extra's, but you probably aren't near me. I'm in Arizona. Good luck!

Start with providing us with more information. Where you live is critical in making recommendations. What works on a 1/4 acre lot in Vermont won't work in humid Louisiana. Different predator loads, different ventilation needs, different optimal breeds.
