Go to the hatchery websites and look at pics, read about different breeds and read the comments about them. Try McMurray Hatchery or Meyer Hatchery just to name a couple. You can ask them to send you catalogs. Once you figure out what you want you can order from them or go all out and order from a breeder on this website.

Welcome to BYC, and congratulations on the upcoming move. Locate a poultry show somewhere near you and attend to see the wide variety of birds available. Start with birds from a breeder rather than hatchery birds if you intend to show. Good luck in establishing a flock.
