Bucket chickens or a similar breed?
Hey everyone I’m hoping to get my first flock of chickens soon and I have been doing a ton of research into what breed I should get and absolutely love the qualities of the buckeye chicken it seems like an amazing choice for a beginner and an amazing bird overall however I live in Alabama (our summers are consistently 90-100 degrees gets a tad hotter every now and then) I have read a bunch of mixed reviews on how the breed holds up in hotter climates and would love some feed back from some people who do/have had them in warmer climates… I was also wondering incase this does end up not being the best choice would anyone have any similar breeds I could check out?
