Are these good together?

Hello all! I am a soon-to-be new chicken owner. I am starting with four chicks. I am trying to decide which breeds to get. I am choosing from a hatchery a couple of hours away so I have just certain breeds to choose from. The date I am choosing to pick up, the breeds that were available I have chosen from are silver laced wyandotte, splash-laced wyandotte, black australorp, and an isbar/silverrudd blue. Do you think these are ok for beginners? I can wait another week and get buff orpingtons, ISA Brown, barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode island blue... I need help with the combination!!!

I think you will be fine either way. I adore Wyandottes and have also been really happy with Orps and Plymouth Rocks. I've never had Australorps but have heard great things about them.

So, while I'm not really helping you make your decision, I wish you the best with the babies, whatever they are!
