If you have any questions, make sure to ask!I am having a blast looking through the articles and forums for info on building, insulation, square footage needed, roost placement! LOL
Thanks for the information. Our local hatchery sold me 5 pullets. When I went to pick them up, they had had a 'piling' issue and tons of birds were wiped out. I ended up with 2 black Australorps and 2 golden comets. I'm thinking of getting 2-3 more Golden Comets and go from there. My Mom is also getting her cream legbar in September that will be living with my flock. Thank you!Hello Tonya (from another Tonya) and welcome to BYC!Glad you joined.
If you can, I would drop the Leghorn from the order and replace her with a Wyandotte or Australorp or some other bird that is not a Mediterranean breed with a huge single comb. She will not do well in your climate at all.
Hello! Welcome to BYC!Hello, this is Tonya. I've not had chickens for over 40 years, but I've ordered 5 pullets for May pick up! We live in Palmer Alaska and we will be building our insulated coop over the next month or so. I've ordered one each: Rhode Island Red, Barred Ply Rock, Cream legbar; leghorn; and Blue Sapphire. Very excited to meet them! Thx
