Friendly breeds?

[Lucy Brown]

I was wondering if I could get more chickens so it’s not so lonely with the four hens I have. Can’t decide on which breeds to get. Does anybody recommend any friendly breeds that are good egg layers? We already have 4 buff orpigtons. Any suggestions would help.

Speckled Sussex are friendly and dual purpose.

Thanks for the replies. Do you think mixing a lot of breeds is a bad idea?

Mixing breeds is no problem as long as you don’t want to sell or breed for exhibition or heritage purpose.
