A New Flock

Our little homestead is going to get a new addition of chickens. I have been wanting to get a small flock for years. Just ask Robb how often I talk about chickens.

I have been researching what birds I want to raise for my new flock. My dad says, "Honey, you can't go wrong with a Rhode Island Red. They always give you nice brown eggs."

I want to mix it up with some Aruacana's for their blue eggs, and Cuckoo Maran's from France for their deep chocolate eggs. And, I just think that Wyandottes are fat happy little things. Do you have a favorite breed for both personality and beauty?
