Glad you joined and good luck with your future chicks!
 
The dog in my avatar is my Australian shepard, Arwen, as a puppy. She turns 8 this year but she is still a crazy spaz!
 
Oh, you just HAVE to get some Orps! (Buff Orpingtons or Black Australorps..both are Orps) VERY docile, friendly birds. They just love attention and give so much affection. My Australorps are HUGE lap warmers! I can't sit anywhere with out an Aussie on my lap and I had better be prepared to sit for a long time! They don't take kindly to getting off to quick either. Ha! They are very hardy over all and great layers too. :-)

X2 on getting Black Australorps. I have raised them for years, and they are extremely hardy, calm and gentle (my children, and now my grandchildren, made lap pets of them), and they are the best layers of the standard, brown egg laying breeds. A Black Australorp holds the brown egg laying record with 364 eggs in 365 days, and while mine have never reached that kind of production (and likely never will), I have still had a few of them lay over 300 eggs in a year. Whatever breeds you decide to get, good luck with your flock.
