Thanks all! I am much more confident in mixing my chicks

So here's my dilemma: I live in San Francisco and am only allowed to have four chickens. Because of this fact, I have spent many hours researching what breeds I want to own. I found a local store that has three of the four chicks I would like to raise, but the fourth breed (Welsummer) is more...

Quote: Happy Chooks, I'm actually getting my first 3 backyard chicks around the same time juststruttin is hatching their Welsummers. Because I'd like them to be around the same age, I think I'll pass on your pullet. She sounds wonderful though and I wish you the best in finding her a good home

Thanks G-man! I'm now on the wait list too

I am also interested in breeders or hatcheries in the bay area. I would like to get a Welsummer.

I live in San Francisco and need to know if I should put my coop in the sun or shade. The weather is very temperate here, but it does get pretty chilly (35 - 50 degrees) when the fog rolls in (usually in the summer) and in the winter. If you live in SF, I would love to hear what you think.

I live in San Francisco and can have up to four chickens. I was wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't get four different breeds. I would like to get an Easter Egger, a Sex-link, a Welsummer, and a Leghorn. The Plymouth Rock also seems like a nice breed.
