Location specific breed

[audiomilk]

I am a new backyard chicken raiser, I haven't bought chickens yet or built my coop yet, but how do I know what type of chickens should I buy? Are there breeds specific to region or other circumstances?

Really. I keep referring to it when I consider new birds for my flock.
