we are not looking for a ton off eggs but enough to rely on.

I quite like my Cornish bantams if you're able to get them, but they're probably not the best if you have bully birds

Hey guys,
I am getting two more chickens and I need help choosing.
I'm thinking either a salmon favorelle, bielefelder, or like a rhode island red or something. please help me chose!!!

I wish I had gone with salmon favorelle, so I vote that breed I’m at my max or I would have purchased some at the feed store a month ago lol. Rhode Island reds aren’t that friendly in my opinion but are great layers. Never owned bielefelders.

I wouldn't go with them then. They're adorable pushovers when it comes to flock dynamics.

does anyone have experience with bielfeilders?

I suggest orpingtons since they are a very friendly and social bird and lay a good amount of eggs. My buff orpingtons let me do all sorts of stuff with them, from riding horses with me to filming TikTok’s with them in my arms. I love the breed so much

I've only had 2 males. 1 extra in chick orders for 2 years straight. They seem okay, but I don't keep them to maturity either
