Hi All,

I've been lurking on this site for some time and have come to realise what a fantastic source of information it is. I have not got my chickens yet as I am still in the research stage. Look forward to communicating with you all.

Have you thought about breeds yet?

Some of the breeds we have may not be available there and vice versa. Some you have, we can't get.

Henderson's chart is good and here is another good source for breed comparison.

I think the UK also has a livestock antiquities conservation group that may have similar info. I'm sorry, I just don't have the link any more.
