"The new guy" from N.E. Georgia

[theracedude]

I just moved to Cleveland Georgia and need some chickens! But first i need to learn. In the past i had 4 Rhode island reds that were lots of fun until my dog decided that he liked chicken too.

Because i love the dog more than the chickens i got rid of the rest of the chickens. So now the dog is way too old to catch chickens it time to give it a second try. I will build a coupe soon and will be looking for a couple of egg layers and then maybe try some meat chickens too. So what should i get that can stand up to N.E. Georgia? I just want low budget good birds. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Randy

from WI! Is it relatively hot where you live? You might want to find breeds that do well in hot weather. Try this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=212442&p=1
