New to BYC

[Annalyst]

Hi Everyone
I am new here and I just moved to a place with a small coop and I am looking to get a few laying hens. I haven't raised chickens in about 20 years so I have been out of the loop. Can anyone give me some advice on what types to get? I live in the north pacific so it rains most of the time here.

Hello and welcome to BYC

Have a look at the Breeds section to get an idea of what's available and their egg laying, hardiness etc
