[4 ever Orpington]

Hey guys!! My birthday is coming up in about a month or two and im getting a few more chickens for my birthday but I have no clue what I want. I currently have white leghorns, buff laced polish, gold laced polish, light brown leghorn, and blue laced red wyandotte. I would love for yall to give me some of yall suggestions!!

When yall give me a suggestion can yall post a picture along with the name of the breed as well as a reason why you suggested it.​

Please give as many suggestions as you want bc I need some! Thanks

Happy birthday early. I love Buff Orpington's great layers and friendly and loving. Easter Eggers also. Good luck on your decision

I love silkies but not the bantam ones they are too small for me, not good egg layers but they have soft feathers and look funny

Wow Jed you have some beautiful birds

Those aren't mine-- they're just pictures from the internet that were convenient for posting, to show what those breeds look like. But you are right, they are nice examples.

Silkies tend to be excellent broodies- you can put any fertile eggs under them and they will hatch and care for as their own. Some people think that outweighs less eggs.

Happy Birthday! Have fun choosing your new chicks

Personally I love our Easter Egger girls. We have 5 of them . They are all so friendly and inquisitive. Plus they lay lovely blue or blue-green eggs! I also like that I can tell them apart instantly because they are all a bit unique in their coloring unlike some of other girls that look a lot alike.

Oh and if you factor in cute and cuddly......silkies! My daughter just got two for her 4-H project and they are adorable little fluff balls

Though that Brahma is an absolute doll. She likes to cuddle more than any other chicken we have. She is also destined for the life of a pampered 4-H Chicken because her disposition is so awesome.

Another vote for the EE! Who doesn't love surprises? Here's mine
It's fun to have a very mixed flock!
