Hamburgs vs Orpingtons

[Milly1]

I am hoping to get a mixed flock of five chickens. I'm thinking about Rhode Island reds, barred Plymouth Rock, hamburgs, and Orpingtons. I also want one silkie bantam just for fun. What do you suggest?

I have reds, buff orpintons, and barred rock, with a cinammon queen and a couple bantams thrown in. they are doing GREAT because they were all raised together. my Buff Orpinton has the neatest personality! Love it. They are NOT good with my Bantams. I do not know if it is because they are little or cause they are a different breed. They peck constantly at them. I am wondering if my Bantams were raised with them if that would have changed it but I am not sure. GOOD LUCK
