    Thanks for the insight! I will keep a lookout.

    I think this is ultimately where we're going to land. Mostly because everyone in the family - despite ALL SWEARING that these are MY chickens - has a different favorite. :)

    Has anyone here used Chick Flic in their coop?

    These things unnerve me . The reason I'm raising chicks is to control what's in the eggs - MY food. It chronically irks me that it's soooooo much work to find out what "natural" means.

    I would never have expected it, but we have a brat Buff Orpington. My son - who has never been around chickens - pointed her out at week one and said "she needs to go" LOL. By week two I agreed and she was out. Temperament of the whole group seemed to change after that. I did warn the new...

    Roos are a problem for us. Correctly stated, a problem for the city. :rolleyes: We did order sexed pullets so am hopeful *most* of what we have are girls.

    You've not had good experience with Wyandottes? Do tell!

    I like the one-of-each idea but I have this "odd man out" thing too. The Barred Rock is THE friendliest chick I've ever had & there's only ONE - ack! So the BR is a must. It's just figuring out who else gets to stay. :)

    Which chickens would YOU choose?

    I can only keep four of the chicks I currently have in the brooder. Production, friendliness & tolerance to confinement are my priorities. I live in Portland, OR. Which would you keep? I have: 3 Buff Orpingtons 3 Black Australorps 1 Barred Rock 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte

    Thank you, all! Super helpful insights. Truth be told I would absolutely LOVE a rooster in my flock, but I'm in city limits. I will remain hopeful that it's a pullet!

    Barred Rock was my guess, but only because it's the only barred chicken I'm familiar with. How can you tell the difference between Barred Rock, Dominique & BSL? And why do you say cockerel @JedJackson ?

    This arrived as my "Meal Maker" chick from Meyer Hatchery so *should* be a pullet. Top of the head is yellow and the rest is mostly black with - what looks like - barred feathers starting to come in. Chick is 3 weeks old. Breed?
