Thank you so much for this! We’ve decided on getting 4 Barred Rock and 4 Buff Orpingtons to add to our 4 EEs. They seem to do well in mixed flocks. I was also thinking of Wyandottes but everything said that they don’t like mixed flocks.
We have 4 Easter Eggers and I am pretty sure the store called them Auracanas last year. Should I order the same? Try something new? Here is a pic of the available chicks to get and 2 pics of the divas we have now. P.S. we live in the NEK Vermont. Our divas are really hearty and good.
