I didn't know where else to put this, so I decided to put it here because I want to get baby chicks of the breed I choose. This is my first post on BYC, other than introducing myself, so here goes:
I want to start a flock of chickens, but don't know which breed to get. Could someone please help me? Here are the requirements:
Needs:
to be recognized by the APA, as I want to show it
to be either small or medium size
to be good in all temperatures
to be friendly
I really want it to:
lay fairly well
have some type of pattern
I also am pretty interested in colored eggs, but this is not a necessity.
And a bantam breed might be okay, but I don't really want to have a bantam flock because they don't lay as well.
Does such a bird even exist? I've been researching and haven't run into one yet, so
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
