Hey y'all

Well, a small flock is still a flock! I suppose you're only looking for hens then.

Correct. Only Hens! I got attacked by one of my dads roosters once and he got a good chuckle lol.

It's good that you know what you want. Do you have your choices narrowed down yet?

Nope. I started a more detailed thread in the breed section to hopefully get some help picking.

Good luck getting back into keeping chickens!

Hmm, Buff Orrington's are quite, good egg layers, and very friendly but they are good broodies which you may not want. Rhode island reds are also good egg layers and they are quiet but not as affectionate. They don't go broody often so that's usually a plus for you're situation. Wyandottes are most common in the suburbs and they are good egg layers but they can be costly. Silkies are small, quite, and adorable but they aren't great egg layers because they go broody so often.

Hi, this is a pretty good article on selecting breeds:

Hope it helps!

I like my Rock Bars but don't discount mutt chickens. Even though mine are "Rock Bars", I suspect they are mutts which is fine with me. Oh, welcome to BYC, fine folks here.
