I get 2 more chicks!!! Any Suggestions?

[SoccerMomof7]

Well I finally convinced my DH to let me have 2 more chicks but I don't know what kind I want. I know I want them to be friendly, be good egg layers, and likely to go broody eventaully. Any suggestion?

Buff Orphingtons.

 

[LilPeeps]

Cochins

I have thought about both of those. Hmmm

 

[tntstanifer]

Speckled Sussex or Barred Rock. They both are good layers and such sweet personalities! Our Speckled Sussex would talk to us lots.

 

[Chicken Cluck]

Rhode island reds. Very friendly

 

[PulletSurprise]

Oh heck...just bat your eyes a little more and he'll let you get one of each

 

[HenHaven]

Buff Orps or Black Australorps would fill the bill. Speckled Sussex would be a good choice too, but they are a little harder to find. Are you going to get them at a feedstore?

As a married woman, I am sure you know how to get what you want from DH

...I wanted a couple more chicks and I am ordering 23 more this week.

I say BO and Rocks for friendly and broody. or Cochins.

Well my DH has actually helped alot with my chicks. I agreed to only get 2 more to make 8 then I will wait until next year. (But I am hoping to get a hen that will go broody to get chicks the natural way!!!) Either that or I will wait until the end of the summer, and if we have extra money after we buy school uniforms I might have the $$ to buy an incubator! But anyways I am trying to figure out which 2 chicks will hopefully cure my "itch".
