Welcome to BYC!!!

As for birds, looking through the breeds section is a good idea, but some quick suggestions are Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rock, and Leghorn (Leghorns are not particularly hardy, as they do best in warmer environments).

Hope this helps!

Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you. Wyandottes are a nice hardy breed of chicken that lay medium-sized eggs, so you may want to look into them.
