Hi - super excited to finally have my own chickens!

Hi! We're so glad you found BYC! It's the best place to start when preparing for chickens!

I don't think you can go wrong with most any layer or dual-purpose breeds, really (unless they don't suit your climate) so you can just shop by color, haha. I believe 'friendliness' is really down to the individual bird, but sure some breeds are generally friendlier (like Orpingtons). Some of my most friendly chickens were also breeds that were the most "flighty" but they have been some of the most inquisitive and productive birds in the flock and a joy to keep as well.

I hope you will keep us posted as to how all your preparations are going and I hope you find any answers you are looking for here! Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!
