I live in rural SC, so similar environment. We like Barred Rock and Buff Orpington for the eggs. We also have a few other breeds but these are great for egg laying. I have heard that Road Island Reds are great too but have never owned any.I am new to raising chickens and today I completed the finishing touches on my chicken coop and run. I am anticipating ordering my first chickens in the next few weeks but I am clueless as to what breed to purchase. For my initial chickens, I want them for egg laying. I live in central North Carolina and we have four distinct seasons -- hot summers and moderate winters. Do you have any suggestions as to what breed that I should purchase for my purpose?
