Hello all! I am brand new to all of this, but I am looking forward to exploring the site for ideas and recommendations. I am looking to get 4-5 chickens for our backyard. I have talked to several other people that raise chickens and I think I'm ready to take the plunge.

Have you thought about which breeds you want yet? For a backyard flock, I'd especially recommend the Wyandotte. Mine have been hardy, very good layers, and sweet, personable birds. Other good breeds are Australorps, Orpingtons, Sex-Links, and Easter Eggers.

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

If you haven't decided on a breed already, I would recommend buff orpingtons, black australorps, silkies, wyandottes, barred rocks and sussex.
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to our flock. If egg production is a priority, I would recommend Black Sex Links (Black Stars), which are hardy and friendly, egg laying machines. I've raised them for years (along with dozens of other breeds and hybrids), and they have been my best layers, consistently churning out more than 300 eggs per hen per year. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Whatever breed or hybrid you decide to get, good luck with your flock.
