So, I'm starting a new flock. I have a coop here at the house (residential neighborhood) and another on some property. The plan is to have my egg layers here at the house with no rooster. The coop on the property will house more hens along with roosters for breeding. Originally I was going to start with some Rhode Island Reds with dominiques to follow soon after. But after going through this forum and reading others folks experiences with these breeds, they may not be what I'm after.
What I am after is....
A good egg layer. We want lots of eggs.
Large eggs for my large family.
Broody, but not too bad. For breeding.
Can handle this Texas heat.
White or brown eggs. Doesn't matter.
Not too mean. I have kids.
Not too loud. I live in a residential neighborhood.
Any idea's, tips or information is welcome.
