Hi everyone,

We're about to get our first ever round of chicks and can't wait! We are mostly excited to have the chickens as pets with the additional benefit of fresh eggs. So many great forums on this site!
So far we have selected 1 olive egger, 1 Cream legbar and 1 Welsummer but need help choosing a 4th breed. Our local organic farm also sells Buff Orpingtons, Silver laced Wyandottes and speckled sussex. Which one do you think would fit best with our other 3 chicks??

Thanks for the help and discussion!
 
Welcome!
Any of those would be nice! I love the Speckled Sussex though.
Are all your chicks coming from this farm? What about their possible health issues? Inquire, at least, about Marek's disease and Mycoplasma. Either will be very bad news for your birds.
Post pictures! We all love chick pictures!
Do you know what you will do with any cockerels? Plan ahead!
Mary
 
I was leaning towards the speckled sussex. I've heard really good things about the chicks from this farm but will definitely do some more digging and post pictures in the next few weeks! Thanks!
