We are ordering some chicks to add to our flock and I am trying to figure out which breed to order. Unfortunately I can't order more than 1 breed because our feed store requires multiples of 10 and 10 is the most we can add. So of the options available the ones I am interested in are barred rocks or black astralorps. I want good family friendly birds which it looks like both of these are? Does anyone have info on the roosters? Are they friendly too? Also need God foragers because we free roam. Which it look like both of these are? So I am wondering which of these would be better layers? And which ones would have the most meat on the extra Roos? And if you have any other info on either that would be great.
Or if anyone knows of a hatchery that I can order from that I could get chicks for 2.10 each, or close to it, including shipping, that would let me order a couple different breeds that would be awesome too!
Thanks!
