welcome!

We have lots of advice. You would be better off asking a few specific questions, lest we overwhelm you.

Welcome!! What type of hens to get depends on what you are looking for. I like colorful eggs, so I really like marans and ameraucanas. Some prefer prolific layers, or white layers, or exceptionally large eggs. We also enjoy our bantams, because tiny eggs make us smile. Some people prefer quiet or easy tempered hens. Your first step would be to determine your goals.

I think I would like some colorful eggs and soem prolific layers

Then again, you could get reasonable layers that also have good meat.
or you could opt for chickens that do well in the heat...

Or you just go for great looks

Laree,
I am not a chicken (I think) but after reading your scientific contribution with the wonderful pictures I am tempted to practice that particular look in front of the mirror myself! Sure a real good personal stink eye would get me far with clients and colleagues alike
