Hey everyone I am new at this whole chickens thing lol but very excited to get started. So far I am interested in raising some Plymouth rocks or silverlaced wyandottes both seem suited to my area according to my research. Any advice is really appreciated as I said I am new to chickens :)
 
Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Plymouth rocks and wyandottes are beautiful great laying birds. Wyandottes can be a little aggressive though. I highly recommend looking into Buff orpingtons, EEs, Autralorps and Speckled sussex. These are all great laying breeds who are known for their friendliness.

X2. The Australorps are especially good layers.

Welcome to BYC!

Australorps are a wonderful breed to keep, as are the Barred Rocks. Both are very good layers, docile and friendly. My Black Australorps are huge on lap sitting. Can't sit anywhere with out a chicken on my lap!

Mountain Peeps has left you with some great links to follow. Which ever breed you chose, enjoy all your poultry adventures!
 
Thanks everyone :) and thanks mountain peeps for all the links I really liked the information and I never considers some of those chickens I really liked the look of the speckled Sussex might consider those instead and I think I will stay away from the wyandottes until I get some more experience :)
