Roy: I have just found this ng, I'm am also going to start a backyard
flock. However I have had some small experience with chickens several
years ago, back then my youngest daughter brought home several whitw
crested black polish hens from her ag class in school. We loved them!
Unusual looking, very friendly, seemed slightly stupid, gave us good
small to medium white eggs, were funny to watch scratch... overall, I
liked 'em! I'm going to look for frizzled golden laced birds if I can
find them, now there's a unique chicken!! See for yourself....
