Im getting chickens a few more chickens for my birthday! I need suggestions!!! Help!

[drumstick diva]

Jed sure put up some great ones, I agree get one of each at least.

I like the other suggestions, however, some of those breeds are very expensive. Ameraucanas and Cream Legbars cost $22 for one chick! Marans can be costly too. I disagree with Kale, I have Silver Laced Wyandottes that are nice and let me reach under them when they are setting. It's the Barred Rocks that seem to be mean! Every chicken has it's own personality I think too. I have an egg business and I also have found that Wyandottes, (Columbian, silver laced, gold laced) lay pretty small eggs. So much fun choosing new chickens!

 

[Nats Chickens]

Aracaunas, Barnvelders, Capines, Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and of course, Naked Necks.

Have a happy B-day, nessa.morg, I like easter eggers (green eggs) and Ameruacanas (blue eggs). Beautiful, smart and funny personalities.
