Breed recommendation?

They usually get their animals from local people who don’t need them, or they just sell their chicks to them. They also have a parrot, not for sale, but he talks occasionally. But I think he only says ”hello”.

Welcome to BYC.

What, exactly, do you want from these new chickens?

Production capability?

Good looks?

What are you looking for in these chickens? What is your climate like?

Okay, then I would say maybe EE bantams, cochin bantams, Polish bantams, or Faverolles bantams would all be good for you.

We got ours from Carolina Town and country. They ALWAYS a have chicks there. I think that feed store might only be here in NC, but it’s great. They also, sometimes, have goats, and 2 times, they even had a COW! They also usually have older chicks as well, like 2-3 month old chicks

I used to live in NC, The feed stores their are amazing!, Thats been years ago tho, I'm in Missouri now

I have Cochin Bantams. I love them and with 3 hens I got 2-3 eggs a day. I also have a Sebright. She has lots of personality and she is tiny. I love her so much! Still waiting to get eggs from her.

Oh my how cute!, I thought of getting Sebrights but alot of people kept trying to push me away from Sebrights bc their hard to keep alive?, Is that true?

I have Large Fowl Favorolles so I'm pretty experienced with thoes, But thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into EE's and Cochins, I also have Large Fowl Polish so I'll look into the Bantam version, Looking to expand my flock this year due to me whome built a overly large coop and my Chickens look small in it so thought I'd take the chance, You can never have to many Chickens!
