Hi! I am new to the forum, but have had chickens for about 3-4 years now. I started out with 6 chickens, but am now up to 17 due to 4H activities. We have 3 Easter Eggers, 1 Cuckoo Marans, 3 silkie bantams, 3 Sapphire Gems, 1 frizzle serama, and 6 serams.

I began raising chickens just for eggs, but my daughter has become chicken crazy so now we are contemplating breeding for 4H and sale. We are former suburbanites and actually have small acreage, but the chickens reside in the back yard. We also have goats, dogs and a cat. I am hoping to learn more about care and breeding of chickens.

Thank you! I am thrilled that she is interested. I learn so much from her since I no longer have hours to sit and investigate information!

Welcome to BYC. If you really want to breed/show/sell, attend a show, pick a breed, and buy breeding stock from someone who does well at the shows. Good stock costs more initially, but doesn't cost anymore to feed than poor stock. Good luck to you and your daughter in your endeavors.
