I'm planning my next amount of new chickens and types to get.
Rhode Island Reds..Barnevelder, Golden Campines and possibly Golden Buffs . will be my mixture.
Rhode Island Reds are suppose to be docile. Except the male strain. i now only have golden buffs. My coop is going to be enlarged. It's plenty big enough now. I just want it larger.
My golden buffs are 4 years old now. They will be moved to a second newer coop. I understand the pecking order. One of my golden buffs is the high one. The others have been picked on by only one girl. She is top hen. She has all her feathers. The other 3 don't. This is not a molting question. She has basically picked the feathers off in certian areas of the other chickens. To me this breed is not to calm. These are all female chickens.
What I try and get are all females.
I would like to know. I know there is a chance that I would get a rooster. Rhode Island Reds are suppose to be docile. Barnevelders are suppose to be Friendly ,calm and also docile and Golden Campines are friendly and talkative would this be a good group to get?. I'm going for eggs mainly. With the most docile I can get. I live in Ohio. Is thier another breed I should have?Have any of you had good luck with these breeds? Any problems with these breeds? Any information you can give would be appreciative. Thank you
