Basic Chicken Starter Pack

***FOR LOCAL PICK UP ONLY***

People always ask us what a good number is to start out with when it comes to laying hens. 6 is our magic number.

Chickens are herd animals and do best in a flock of 6 or more.

When people come to me as an expert in raising chickens and ask what a good docile breed is to start with, I always recommend my Production Red Laying hens. If you are a newbie just starting out, or maybe you've been out of the game for a while - these chickens are big enough that they are easier to care for. 

Do not make the mistake in buying chicks to start with if you have little to no experience raising chickens. So many more variables can go into raising a chick from the brooder on up. These mostly grown birds have just started lay or are at laying age. 

I tell people to go through each season with these birds (being a hardy and heat tolerant bird for Texas). Get the hang of what it is like dealing with poultry in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. After you've got the hang of that, then look at exploring or expanding your flock into different breeds, varieties, egg colors, or feather colors. 

Not all chickens are created equal, some are more ornamental breeds (better to look at), some are better mothers, some are better layers. Be sure that what you are getting is what is going to suit you and your families needs.
