First Flock Breed choices.

[MayCasa]

I am getting my first chickens this Thursday. YAY for me . My choices have been narrowed down to Easter Egger, gold star, silver laced Wyandotte, buff Orpington, and black australorp. My heart is set on the Easter Egger. The lady I am getting them from only has one Easter Egger, 2 gold stars, 1buff Orpington, 1silver laced Wyandotte, and 1 black australorp. She also has white rocks which she is trying to encourage me to choose.

I was planning to only get 5 for my first time. Is this a good start? And which combination of pullets would you choose if this was your first flock? I've read everything about them on the breed selection board, so I feel like these are all great choice. That's why I'm having a hard time choosing. I want my flock to be family friendly as we have a 6 and 8 y/o and I want the to. Grow up loving to feed and be around the chickens.

We also have a rabbit hutch in the covered part of the enclosed chicken run. It is completely fenced in. Is this a good idea to keep the two baby bunnies out there or should we move them?

I'd get one of each breed except for the White Plymouth rocks (their not my fav).

I did it. We are the proud chicken parents of 2 gold star, 1 Easter Egger, 1silver laced Wyandotte, 1 buff Orpington, and 1 black australorp. They were cooped up in a large dog kennel for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. I'm guessing they're still a little unnerved as they are staying all pushed as far in the corner of the coop as they can
