[Kristinanne80]

rode island red
silver laced Wyandotte
barred Plymouth rock
golden comet
black australope
white silkie (couldn't resist)

we have 5 children so we were trying to pick gentle calm breeds...

Welcome to BYC!

Lots of us have brought home babies when there was no coop out back!!! So you are not alone.

And I think you picked out wonderful breeds as they are all very friendly, docile, great with the kids, great layers and very hardy overall.

If you need any tips and hints on raising your new brood, stop by our learning center here on BYC for lots of great reads on all the aspects of keeping poultry....

Welcome to BYC!! I brought home 5 Buff Orpingtons and 3 Ameracaunas AND NO PLACE TO PUT THEM! But a banker's box, a heating pad and some puppy pads made a great place to start. Now they're all in a small coop I purchased from Sam's awaiting for the repurposing of my aviary, when the weather starts behaving again. And I suppose I should own up to the 4 silkie bantams which are in a medium sized dog crate with the heating pad

Road islands are great egg layers but can have a temper.
Cochins are great with kids and great mommy birds.
Aurstrlops are friendly
Plymouth rocks are very chary little lady's/ fellows
Sorry never had a comet.

* silks and Cochins are great with kids and great mommy birds.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Chicks and no coop is called incentive to get that coop built, unless you want house chickens, they do make good pets.... Sounds like you will have a colorful little flock. Silkies are sometimes picked on by other birds because they are different with their topknots and usually sweet temperaments, so you might be prepared to keep the Silkie separate when the hens get older.
