I recently started with 4 chickens I bought from the local flea market.(I know better now) Then bought another 4 from a locale chicken raiser(much better) Then I bought 6 red stars from a local breeder (even better) I thought I was getting smarter but then bought eight from another breeder that wasn't so up and up and I have no idea what they are(other than cute) Two passed away at 3 weeks from a cold spell and broken light. Two of the remaining are RIR for sure, and One is a black sex link, The remaining three are one white, one gray, and one is solid black( maybe another black sex link), They were hatched out on the 21 of February. I could possibly post pics later this week for more help. Then at my birthday dinner last night my father gave ma a box with three little chicks in it(I was so excited) but they have no clue what kind they are. they hatched on this past Friday, they are black, with white buts, and white spots on their heads and white trim around edge of wings. I can possibly post pics of those also. I also received a RIR from a co worker that had one roaming free in their neighborhood so he brought it to me. and I bought a rooster so as to boost egg production only(not breeding) This is my total chicken experience,
Personally I live in central Florida and have referred to your site a multitude of times in my building and caring for my chickens. I am excited to get lots more eggs and was thinking of getting some meet chickens when all my chicks are grown up.
