after doing alot of reading, i think i have decided what im gonna do...but i thought i'd run it by u guys/gals with experiance what u think of this...
i really like the plymoth rocks...
i love the way the barred rocks look, but i want to stay away from the sex-link chicks. so instead i think im gonna get a few of the others: partridge, buff, and the white rocks...
im wanting to get 2 roos and around 16 hens to fit my needs for eggs and occasionally meat. im thinking of getting 4 white hens, 6 buff hens, and 6 partridge...and 1 buff roo and 1 partridge roo
these will never be for show, they will be just my own backyard chickens. do you see any problems i may run into? i understand the white will give off the recessive white gene thingy, but like i said, these are just for my own backyard...so that doesn't really matter to me...
