Hello fellow newbies. We had meat chickens about 30 years ago, I remember very little about them. Now we are retired and I want to raise chickens just for eggs. I've listened to many YouTube'ers about the do's and don't's of everything from breeds to bedding.
Now I'd like to pick your brains about your favorite breeds for lots of eggs, color isn't #1 for me, but pretty shells are very pleasant.
We moved to northeast Missouri in December, there is a wonderful chicken house here already, complete with two huge wind driven turbines on the roof, roosts and nesting boxes, and quick access to a small run, and a great place for them to forage.
I've met one lady who raises chickens and sells the eggs, she was not very forthcoming in sharing her experience.
Can you share what part of the country you live in and what's your favorite breed of chicken and why ? We won't be able to get them until mid June, but I'd like to be ready by then.
Thanks for sharing your experience !

Glad you joined.
I'm going to start a notebook with all the information ! Of those 3 breeds, can you guess who plays the most eggs ?
