I actually don't have any birds yet! Currently I'm installing higher fences and building a coop, and am looking to fill it with brahmas/australorps/orpingtons come May.
My chicken-keeping friend from the States has made me swear not to buy from a hatchery (she says you're less likely to get healthy/good quality birds), but I'm having a spot of trouble finding local breeders. I'm in East York, and don't mind driving a couple hours to pick up birds.
Does anyone have breeder recommendations? Particularly interested in non-buff Orpingtons.
Thanks in advance, I'm so glad I found this forum!
