Good for you on getting the coop taken care of before you get chickens. If you have questions, always feel free to ask!

Live in south central PA, near Altoona. Looking to get 10 hens and 2 roosters. Thinking either Buff Orphington or Barred Rock. This is my first time with chickens so I decided to go with easy breeds.

My coop is under construction at the moment. It will be 120 square feet with a large covered run. Want to have a spot for me to sit and enjoy them. The coop and run will be automated with a Raspberry Pi.

Both of those breeds are excellent choices. The barred rocks will grow quickly and the buff orpingtons will have an excellent temperament
