Please forgive me if this has been asked. When I search I get a TON of threads to browse through, and I need some fairly quick answers. I'm getting a pretty expensive trio of Seramas in on Wednesday. I didn't really plan to purchase quite that quickly, but time is running out to ship, so had to...

I have 7 SLW but am looking to purchase some more chickens from quality breeders shortly here in the future. I am trying to decide what breed(s) I'd like to raise. So I'd like to know why you like/raise certain breeds and any suggestions are welcome. Also, OT but I have some wire that is 1/2" x...
