Waynesville out west! Curious what breeds if f egg layers will do well here? im not very high in the mountains only about 2800ft or so.

Probably some cold-tolerant breeds
I personally really like Orpingtons they're very cold hardy and wonderful layers, they are also very friendly.
My flock used to have Buff Orpingtons, Jubilee Orpingtons, (they're expensive and very rare so dont let your money go to waste on them @_@) and Lavender Orpingtons. Right now though, my flock consists of Silver Laced Orpingtons, and Isabel Orpingtons. (They're both also rare and expensive so xD)
Other then Orpingtons I dont really know that much about other breeds :v

I live at about 3700 feet and my mother had brahmas, orpingtins and jersey Giants that all did well. Popular chickens in my area are australorps and dominiques.

Good morning fellow chicken enthusiasts! Moved from the great PNW to SE North Carolina a few months ago. Needless to say, i purchased a home and am going to be looking to get my back yard flock around Early December time frame (if i can). My question to all of you, is do you know of any breeders or hatcheries that would have chicks that time of year? i could even work with hatching eggs if i had to. I know that if i ship day olds that late in the year from somewhere else in the country i have to order more than i want, so thats not an option. I'm looking for somewhere that would allow me to pick a few up at hatchery. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Uh, you could do some research if you want. I'd check craigslist and eBay for hatching eggs because unfortunately, I don't know of anyone who does. Good luck on your search though!
