New to chickens in BC

[speckly chicken]

I'm looking forward to getting my new chicks at the end of April. I'm hoping for a mixed flock of Speckled Sussex, Chantecler, Ameraucana, and some kind of Wyandotte. I'm starting with about 15 birds and plan to cull the roosters in the fall to leave us with a nice laying flock. This is our first venture into farming (besides a dog and a garden) so I'm very excited. Chickens chickens chickens!

Thanks, everyone, for your warm welcome! I am really excited to start this new adventure. We just picked up a few supplies (litter, chick feeder, and feed). Our chicks will be here near the end of April, so I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but I just can't wait! I'm looking forward to sharing pictures of the little ones when they arrive. Here's to the birds!

Hi Speckly chicken! I am from BC (Salmon Arm) and am new to this group as well. We've decided on White Chanteclers, Black Jersey Giants and the jury is still out on the layers - leaning towards Wyandottes. Looking forward to hearing how things go for you.
