Welcome to Backyard Chickens Heidi!
We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry! There is always space for more members on the BYC roost!
Try to avoid breeds that have certain characteristics that you are not acquainted with. Cornish for example live a short life span because they were specifically bred as a heavy breed for the meat table. I would read each breed individually to help you be familiar with and interested in them. Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!
