I've decided to give it a go for the first time this year. I will try to raise 5 or so Black Australorps for egg production here in our backyard in North Texas.
When is the best time of year to purchase? I read that it takes about 6 months before they reach full productions so I was hoping to buy in the winter so they'd be laying by summer.
Can someone tell me the best place to buy the chicks? I've noticed that some places ship (pretty surprised to read that). I assume buying locally is safer for the chicks. Recommendations anyone?
