What to Consider Before Buying Chickens
Breed: Before buying chickens, consider characteristics such as size, egg production and temperament, as well as suitability for your climate. Some of the most common backyard chicken breeds are bantams, including Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Barred Rock chickens.
Purpose: Decide if you're raising chickens for eggs, meat or both, as certain breeds are best suited for each.
Space Requirements: Ensure you have enough space for your flock to roam and peck comfortably. Each breed is unique and will require specialized space and have different coop requirements.
Climate: You should determine which type of chickens to get based on your local climate. Certain breeds such as Silkie and Polish chickens thrive better in warmer climates, whereas Buckeye and Barred Plymouth Rock breeds thrive best in cooler temperatures.
