start with a basic six bird flock but plan for more. Chicken math (describes when someone doesnt mean to get more chickens when they start but they end up doing so anyways) is a real thing, and it'll hit you. You can do orpingtons-they're super fluffy and do great in the cold, barred rocks- they're always super sweet and pretty soft too, wyandottes, which are just the prettiest birds no matter what you get, and Autralorps- i recommend the black ones, just gorgeous. you can really do whatever you want though, just check whatever place you're ordering from and go from what they have. good luck!

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Before planning on chickens, plan and build their coop and run! You can learn a lot by reading the threads on the Coop & Run Forum and by reading highly rated articles to get an idea on the key features your coop needs to house healthy birds.
Some excellent cold weather tolerant breeds are any color Rocks, Australorps, Faverolles, Chanteclers and Orpingtons.
 
Welcome. it is always nice to see someone educating themselves before they get their flock. You should look at Dominique's. I just went to all Dominique's last year and they are great. Super friendly and calm. They lay a lot of eggs. They look very similar to a Barred Rock. They lay a medium brown egg, but they lay a bunch. The main reason I suggest you look at them is they are a very cold hardy breed. I'm sure there are several breeds that will work well for you. I'm just bias towards the Dominique's

Thank you! I did a little read through on the coop forum, that's what we've planned out the most so far, but there is a ton of knowledge I didn't even think of in there.
