My mother got me some gift certificates to Ideal and I want to place my order today. The problem is, I can't decide between different breeds. I know I want the following:
2 Barred Cochin pullets
2 Blue Cochin pullets
2 Red Cochin pullets
2 Speckled Sussex pullets
2 EE pullets
I may add 2 more pullets to the order, but I can't decide between the following breeds:
White Leghorn
Ancona
Blue Andalusian
Golden Campine
Golden Lakenvelder
I used to have a Silver Lakenvelder, and she was very flighty but a great layer. I have absolutely no experience with those other breeds. So, I thought I would ask you awesome BYC folks your opinions on them. If you have any of those breeds, how are their personalities? How are they as layers? Do they ever go broody? Obviously with having Cochins, broodiness is not a characteristic I'm looking for. I literally spent hours last night looking through the Ideal website, and I just can't decide. Can y'all help a fellow chicken addict out? Thanks in advance
