Welcome to BYC!We're glad to have you.![]()
As stated above, Orpingtons, Australorps, Easter Eggers, and Wyandottes are all good breeds for you. My personal favorite is the Wyandotte. Mine have been good layers, with one laying just under 300 eggs in her first year. They continue to be good layers, even though they are now nearly four years old. Mine have been personable and docile, with the most personality of all my birds.
Yup, that's my Columbian Wyandotte, "Columbie", as a pullet. She's now four years old, and she's still my favorite.Thanks! I like your avatar! Is that a picture of your Wyandotte? All those breeds I've heard good things about.![]()
