I'm in the works of building a run/coop... and I am getting overly excited. I wanted to get some 'eggspert' advice on which are the best breeds for me to start out with?
I checked the breeds page, but I think experienced chicken owners can give me the best info on temperment, behaviors, etc. This is what I want in a chicken:
I plan on getting 3 girls to start... am open to getting different breeds..
1. Will not get spooked/stressed too easily by my dogs approaching the run for a sniff.
2. Will let me hold and cuddle them on occasion.
3. Will lay between 3 - 5 eggs per week.
4. Not too broody, I want to be able to retrieve my eggs and don't want to pull back a nub...
Any feedback and opinions are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
