Needing info on non-hybrid chicken
Hello. Hubby and I are wanting to raise some chickens to eat, and for eggs. We are very interested in chickens that are not of a hybrid strain. Any idea on where to start?We have a little chicken house that we saw, and clipped to build, and will be revamping to our specs, and also don't have any idea on how many to raise to eat for a house of 3 for a year, yet, not overrun ourselves with eggs.Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you:)See More
