I have easter eggers and marans. Lost 4 in an attack and looks like I am left with a majority of roosters. This is not going to fly, so looks like its back to hatching agin..... yes! Tell me which breed is your favorite.
 
What are your goals? Meat or eggs, both, colorful basket, friendly and docile, good foragers. Cold or heat tolerance? My daughter's favorite was her Welsummer. Good production of dark eggs, friendly. I really like the Brahmas, ok egg production but cool personality. More info, please!
 
I agree a hatchery would be the most efficient for achieving ones means. My means are having the incubating experience though. I like dual-purpose breeds, but am more interested in egg-laying. I know reds, barred-rocks, and Orps are good layers, but anyone have any suggestions other than these?
 
i have just ordered Buff orp, RIR and barred rocks, plus when they get here this week will also be adding my own
can you say incubating madness hehe
 
I have a nice variety that I bought from our Orschlands store. I have black australorps, ameraucana, silver laced wyandottes, rode island red, white crested polish, golden polish, and barred rock. The barred rock is my absolute favorite. What a friendly chicken. She actually enjoys being around me. Good luck picking a breed.
