This past weekend the hubby, kids and I all went down to our local Tractor Supply and picked up 6 baby chicks! I have always wanted to have free range back yard chickens for Fresh Farm Eggs and now we are going to have it!
The chickens we picked up are called Tetra Tint and according to what I have read and was told by the ladies in Tractor Supply they are a very hardy and great egg producing chicken, laying about one egg a day....that's right we will have 1/2 dozen farm fresh eggs daily!
We have 6 hens but the accuracy for sexing is about 90% so we may end up with a rooster or two. I will update the progress of their growth and information about this Chicken since it is a new breed of chicken created just for Tractor Supply.
Thanks for posting. I went to the tractor supply store this weekend and also purchased chicks,I have 6 tetra tints,2 Rhode island reds and 2 golden comets. I wasn't aware that I can take them out into the yard so thank you for that info. Good luck and I hope you continue to update.
