Hi all

[Idaho Chicken Bungalow]

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!

Welcome! Thanks for joining us.

There are many many breeds to choose from. Do you need birds that are particularly heat/cold hardy? Any egg color preferences?

Thanks. Is there a happy medium on hit or cold hardy? Lol I live in Alabama and need a little of both . I'd love white eggs that are larger.

Yes there are! Here a few breeds that lay white eggs.
Andalusian- Decent layers of medium-large eggs. Being a Mediterranean breed, they do not do well in severe cold.
Ancona- Good layers, but eggs tend to be on the small side.
Hamburg- Good layers, but eggs tend to be on the small side.
California White- Good layers have large eggs.
Campine- Decent layers of medium size eggs.
Lakenvelder. Decent layers of medium size eggs.
Leghorn- The most popular white egg layer. Great layers of large white eggs, but being a Mediterranean breed they don't do well in severe cold.

Do some research on all the different breeds to find the which ones suit you best.
