My friend raises chickens and said I should raise some too. I told her I need to know what kinds of chickens I should get. She likes Bantams. She said I should try raising some. Any other suggestions?

Black Sex Links are egg laying machines, and they are generally very friendly and docile, although they can be very noisy at times. They are my personal favorite chickens. I've raised them for years (along with dozens of other breeds and hybrids), and they have been my best layers, consistently churning out more than 300 eggs per hen per year. Just keep in mind that they are hybrids and not a true breed which means that they will not breed true. That means that you will have to replace your stock by ordering from hatcheries that breed them.I was browsing good chickens and the Black Sex (that name just stuck out) looked like a nice chicken and it said they're good layers. I want good layers to start.
Oh, I see. They are pretty!!! Maybe I'll get some EEs for my b-day yard candy next year. =)
