Hey all Neill here and new to chickens.. Actually really new.. Dont even have any yet.. :~) we found a place selling wyandottes ( silver and gold laced) and orpingtons and a few other breeds.. Which is the best for being the calmest ( being able to pick up and hold) & can we mix breeds in same coop.... We want brown eggs. But want chicks for pets to. We will be raising from young chicks. Thanks for any info
