Been lurking around here for a short bit and decided its time to join. My name is Steve and I am in the Niagara region. I am starting a small backyard flock of 5 hens. Ready for pick up this weekend. Been frantically busy getting all i can ready. Looking forward to learning a lot here especially from some fellow Ontarians. Got tons of questions and am really excited about the new adventure. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for a kind welcome! I guess the idea of being able to provide, in as many ways as possible, for myself and my family is intriguing to me. i also LOVE eggs! I've heard about chicken math and im pretty sure 5 will be 10 by summers end. Haha. I will be getting 5 isa browns because I was told they were some of the most efficient layers and that they can handle cold climates well. But again, while lurking and learning on forums i have seen some absolutely beautiful birds. Would maybe like to get a few heritage breeds. ... You think introducing them to the flock will cause issues??
