So, I'm going to order chickens, probably next spring...or maybe in the summer, but really I don't want to order any birds in the summer; with it being hot and all, but I might. Or I'll just incubate some chicks. I really haven't ordered any specific breeds in a long time and for a while now all the birds on my property have been just crossovers resulting from year one, lol. But anyway, I want to order some nice laying birds...to sell the eggs. So any favorite laying breeds you'd like to recommend? Also any hatcheries you'd like to recommend also, would be helpful, if you have any. Normally, I just oder birds from Cackle Hatchery, though.
I like Easter eggers! they're a good breed and lay colorful eggs, Which some customers may be willing to pay more for. Rhode island reds, And Orpingtons are good layers and are also some good breeds to look into in my opinion.
