Hi everyone! If all goes to plan, I will be picking up 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Barred Rocks, and 2 Cherry Eggers on Wednesday. Thinking of maybe substituting some out for a couple of Bantams (if my feed store has any left), as my starter coop will be decently small (rated for 8-10, so really 6 ...).

What do you all think? Any thoughts/suggestions on this combo of breeds?

I have a black sex link and black Jersey giant in western Mass
