I got 8 new babies

[freshegg]

I got these all 3 weeks old females locally.
1 white rock
1 speckled sussex
2 light brahmas
1 silver laced wyondotte
1 gold laced wyondotte
2 black star

Do you think they will get along? Are these good breeds or are some known as having bad habits (fighting,egg eating or mean to the humans)

All breeds are nice but Brahmas are high in the pecking order and a bit standoffish. Roos tend to fight a lot.

I have heard just the opposite of the Brahmas...if the ratios of hens to roos is right, they don't fight much. I think they should all get along, especially being the same age. Are they all from the same place? I researched the breeds carefully because I didn't want them to be aggressive with each other and I wanted them all to be friendly. Of the 13 I have coming 2 are GLW and 2 are Light Brahmas. One is a mystery chick that could be a roo but he would be the only one. I'd like to have a LB Roo as they are quiet crowers and quite handsome. I think you made good choices.

Go to www.mypetchicken.com and use their chicken selector tool with the default options and you'll get a list of birds, each with descriptions and personalities. It helped me, as did the descriptions at www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/index.html. I hope this helps you out.
