Chosen Chicken Breeds

After talking to the local "chicken man", I've picked my breeds I'm going to have in the coop. I'm going to get the Rhode Island Red and the Turken, aka the "Transylvanian Naked Neck". The latter looks more like a turkey and is so ugly it's cute! Both breeds will do very well in the high desert heat here. Hopefully I'll be getting them within a month!

  1. kelle,

    yes, i'm excited. i really would love to get a silkie, too, but they don't do as well in the heat. they aren't great layers but they are just so darned cute!
