Input Welcome: What Breed Should I Get?

[N F C]

From your list, I have RIR, the red sex link and used to have a WCBP. I've been very happy with the RIR and the RSL, both for egg production and personality. The WCBP was a freebie from the hatchery. He was an adorable chick but as soon as those top knot feather started coming in, he was harassed constantly so I had to separate him from the dual-purpose girls. We lost him around 3 months of age but he never would have been happy with the other birds and I was going to have to make a choice to re-home him or get him some other Polish for companions.

This is Taylor, my RIR girl and DH's favorite: (her chick pic is below this one)




This is Scotty, one of my RSL's and my lap girl: (can't find her baby pic, so showing you her flock mate Sue)

Well I am thinking we'll likely get either a GSL or a BSL.... I just can't decide between the two... maybe I should just get one of each? Haha.

Yes, one of each!

Yes, one of each!

Then I just might find myself sleeping on the sofa... or worse... in the coop! Is this the elusive chicken math everyone talks about?

One of each! One of each! One of each!

Yes!

The only one of those I have had is a Rhode Island Red, and I was not such a fan. She was not very nice, and a bully to the other chickens and people. I say one of each!

That seems to be the consensus. And since I have kids and a mixed flock, SLs for the win!
