A brief intro..

[Hope4Hennsyvania]

Hi, I'm a day old chick on this site and introducing myself. I live in SE Pennsylvania, Delaware County and new to the world of raising chickens. My intent in just a few loved backyard pets that will be dual purpose eventually, as egg layers. I've done some research into breeds and think austrolorp, buff Orpington and RIR may be the best candidates for us. I have a 10yr old, so kid human friendly chickens are our hopes.
I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and ideas... And welcome constructive criticism. Take it easy on me. I'm still learning.

Hello and welcome! Thanks for joining us.

Good breed choices. There are some breeds that are "friendlier" then other breeds, but almost any chicks that are raised with human contact can be people friendly. Good luck!
