My reason for wanting chickens! Help with some breeds?

[mammat]

All mine get along my favortites are silkies,cochins and brahmas. Ii also love d'uccles. I have always kept my bantams with the big girls without problems. I tried polish and hamburgs and they were my least favorite. They are flighty and the polish got eaten by hawks because they cannot see. I will caution you about buying from breeders and shows. Always quarentine! I did not...once. i almost lost my entire flock. The breeder was well known and the chicks looked great for a week and then they got sick and so did everyone else

I also keep my bantys and LF together with very little issues. (Currently have a GL Wyandotte that thinks chasing my fav cochin banty is her main purpose in life).

My bantams and LF will be kept together for a while, I'm expanding my run so I can get full use out of my coop if I want to so I can keep 30+ chickens ( as an option)! I would like to keep my silkies separate as I do think I may possibly breed and show them. It's just a thought now, I'm attending my first show in may. I'm still on the fence with both breeds and how I would do separate pens and things if I decided to. But like I said all of it is just in the 'thinking stages'. I still want a few different breeds for my layers and for a pretty egg basket

Thanks for letting me know I was on google trying to look 'piper Omar' up lol!
