New to BYC

[Lindstroms13]

We are a married couple with 2 kids just starting off. I am building a coop and run and we are excited to get things finished so we can bring home our peeps! We are looking for friendly hens that are good layers as city ordinance has us maxed out at 3. Any suggestions are welcome!

Cheers!

Hello and welcome. TwoCrows gave you great information to follow! I just wanted to add that if you get an Easter Egger Pullet, you will get more colored eggs!
