- Favorite US BreedsI know a lot of ppl have asked this question. I’m looking for chickens that are easily obtainable in the U.S. I don't have any chickens but I've been wanting them for years. What I have in mind are friendly, likes loves, corky, full of personality, great with other breeds but also great egg layers. This probably isn't realistic and if it's not please tell me why, I want to learn. I live in NW Georgia, we do have mostly mild winters with a few extremes thrown in and hot summers. I like the Orpington and Wyandotte, my husband wants Barred Rock. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and experiences, good and bad. Oh also I would love to free range but I don't have a fenced in yard. Is it possible to keep them in the yard without a fence? I'm thinking it's probably impossible to do so, I know they wonder. 2 of our neighbors wouldn't care if they ventured into their yards but Idk about the other 2. submitted by /u/SLesleyC222 [link] [comments]
