What type of chickens are you looking for? Meat/Eggs/Pet/Show or a combination of those?

 

[schellie69]

from Kansas just buy a couple of each breed you think you like. Thats what I did.

Try using the BYC Breed Selection tool:

so are the smaller chicks (like the cochins) able to stay in with the bigger chicks (like the Ameracauna) ?

Yes I have bantams and standards together. Just a note the only place to get true Ameracuana is from a breeder if they come for a farm store or hatchery they are Easter Eggers which are cool they come in a bunch of different colors and lay pretty colored eggs.
