Welcome to BYC!
Nice to have another poultry person here.
If you want more information on chicken breeds, here are a couple links for you to check out. They may help you decide which chickens are the best fit for you.

I'm sure there are a lot of other sources but these can at least help you narrow the list down. Where do you plan to get your birds? If you're wanting to get them from a hatchery, they are already taking orders for 2015 so don't wait until the last minute.
