After loosing my fourth Barred Rock girl from egg yolk peritonitis, and finding out that particular problem (among others) is common to hatchery chicks, and of course I ignorantly got these girls from a local feed store 3 years ago, time to find a reputable breeder in my area. I don't want to show the girls, just have happy hens that lay eggs, scratch around, make my rooster happy, and eventually get old. Just plain old chickens. I would like to have Barred Rocks, because they seem to take our Middle TN heat and humidity well and they're not bothered by our cold winters. Plus the whole family likes their quirky personalities.
Can anybody recommend a reputable breeder in the Nashville/Clarksville/Hopkinsville/BowlingGreen area?
Please and THANK YOU!
