Thanks for the warm welcome.

My wife is partial to Barred Rocks as she had them as a child. My uncle kept Wyandottes, so I'm partial to those. We plan on keeping 3, possibly 4 hens so, perhaps one of each and maybe an Orpington. We are raising them for eggs, and for fun.

This seems like a great place to learn, and look forward to being part of the community!!!

You're welcome. I've raised all of those breeds over the past 50 years, and they are all hardy, dependable breeds. I think you will really like the Orpington. They are very friendly and gentle. My children and my granddaughter (pictured in my avatar) made lap pets of them.
