Hello from Charleston! We are building a coop and looking to get eggs or chicks in a month or so. I want to get birds local and not from a big box hatchery. Does anyone know where to do this?? We are willing to travel a little bit. We also want to have some variety in our flock,so we want a few of several birds. Any ideas on good breeds for the area. We have a little one, so we are looking for friendly easy going breeds.
I don't know about other breeds but I am constantly hatching some nice Rhode Island Reds here in the upstate. If your interested I might be able to get my niece to run them down and you you can get them from her. ( She lives down there ) My brother runs down that way a good bit too..
