Hopefully this is the right area on this forum to post this if not please let me know where I should post this to get the most insight!
These are the breeds I am getting. I will list a male if I am getting a male. I would like to know how to keep a rotation of good egg birds going and a rotation of good meat birds going with these breeds I am listing. A couple I got just for fun so will mention beside the breeds which ones. Let me know any thoughts and opinions and tips on breeding to keep my process going. I dont plan on selling breeds just want to never have to buy chicks again and just hatch my own Also would like to just keep some around because they are hard to come by as well. Some came from a breeder and the rest are from cackle and ideal hatchery.
Breeds:
*Silkies (Male and female-from a breeder) These are for hopefully broodiness
*Cream Legbar (Male and Female-from a breeder) I like the teal egg colors but would like to breed these as well.
*Buff Cochin (Not sure on sex. getting a straight run)
*Golden Laced Wyandotte ( Females only)
*Easter Egger (Females Only)
*Brown Leghorn (Male and Female)
*Black Australorp (Male and Female)
*Black Sex Link (Females)
*White Jersey Giant (Male and Female)
*Blue Maran (Male and female-from a breeder)
*Cuckoo Maran (Male and female)
*Salmon Favorelle (Male and female)
*Black Copper Maran (male and female-from a breeder)
*RIR (Male and female)
If you want to post longer than a comment feel free to also message me. I did get all these so please dont tell me that I should or shouldn't get a certain breed. I did research and picked these for reasons whether it was meat, egg production, kindness cause I have kids or I know the breed already and liked it.
Thanks in advance for those that take the time to read my novel!
