Best Chickens #890865

Asked December 17, 2024, 12:12 PM EST

Recently moved from town to country and want to raise a few (10) chickens for eggs and meat. What chickens are best for this (Bend) area? Any way to get some chicks for Christmas presents for the kids?

Deschutes County Oregon

Expert Response

Generally chicks are available from spring to late summer. It would be good to read up on varieties which would best survive in your climate and on their care and housing. OSU Extension office is a good place to start and some of the 4-H pubs are very informative. Contact your local office.
