Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I just started my first flock of laying hens in Feb. as a group project/ team building exercise at work for my employees (I manage an animal feed manufacturing mill). The chicken idea took off and we now have 8 pullets that receive attention from the entire crew on a daily basis. We are already talking about birds to get in the future for the coop that we built. My questions:
We are interested in a few less common breeds- is there really any feasible way to get my hands on a white faced black spanish line that is above hatchery quality in Colorado?
We all like the idea of heritage and quality bred birds- is there a particular breed that would be suitable for building an egg laying flock out of heritage birds that would be reasonably easy to obtain? ( I am thinking like heritage RIR or something similar that wouldn't be impossible to find)
Final question- What breed is this??? I like the looks of her but cant seem to figure out what she is.
Thanks y'all!
