I kept chickens in the early 80s. Didn't know much about them. And people kept giving me more. I think I had 43 at one time. Didn't know breeds and they probably weren't any particular breed. I had a gorgeous BIG rooster that was mostly mahogany red with some black and green tail feathers. Another small rooster who couldn't get a lady to save his life, and assorted hens with a few bantys thrown in. I sold eggs, gave away eggs and ate eggs every day. My children don't care for eggs now, but they don't remember the years that I grew everything we had to eat. This was before it was fashionable to have a 'homestead'. LOLNot planning on starting with a couple and working up then (?)
