Hello,
I was just curious if any specific breeds don't work well with other breeds in a flock? Here is a list of the breeds I am purchasing. Any issues you foresee?
Buff Orpington, Barred Plymouth Rock, Australorp, RIR, Austra White, Black Copper Maran, Welsummer, Easter Egger, Oliver Egger, Golden Laced Wyandotte..
I was thinking about added a bantam to the flock because I would like to have a breed that goes broody (if I want to hatch some eggs without an incubator) but then I started thinking it may be a bad idea to have a single smaller chicken in a flock of much larger birds...also not sure that a bantam would be able to sit on many eggs in the first place.
Thank you!
