I have just retired and I am going to build my own co-op and have between 4 to 6 chickens. Looking for ideas to get started.
Thanks

Hello, and welcome! What breed are you planning to get?

I have not decided yet. Open for suggestions. Need good egg layers.

I would choose a breed that would do well in the climate that you live in.
