Hello,
I am fairly new to the chicken world. We had chickens when I was a teen in southern California. But that was a long time ago. I am now living in Northeast Connecticut (tiny town of Danielson) and my husband and I are thinking of getting some chickens. We have to get approved by the town, and I believe we have to get signatures from our neighbors. According to what it says on our town website, we would be allowed to have up to 6 chickens, no roosters. We are still in the research phase. Looking for advice on cold hardy chicken breeds. I am hoping to get some rare breed chickens and chickens that lay chocolate brown egg, blue eggs and brown eggs. I have some breeds in mind, such as Buff Brahmas, Buff Orpingtons, Golden Polish, Gold-laced Wyandotte...I think I have too many I want....lol! Hoping to have "friendly" chickens. Anyway, so that's why I'm here, any advice that can be given would be great. Incidentally, My avatar is a picture I took of the Golden Polish chick that my mom in California recently bought. I think it's adorable! Not sure if it's male or female. Thanks!
