I have never had chickens before, but we finally bought our dream home on almost 5 acres and now I can have my chickens! I just placed my order with MyPetChicken.com. I am ordering:
2 Barred Rock
2 Wheaten Ameraucana
2 Buff Orpington
2 Black Copper Marans
2 Easter Eggers
4 Olive Eggers
I tried to pick breeds that were more sociable and easier to handle. I also tried to pick breeds that would give me a very colorful egg basket. My ship date is June 2, so I have plenty of time to build or buy a coop and get everything ready. I also need to learn as much as possible about raising them before they come!

and Welcome To BYC! That is really going to be a very colorful flock, and egg basket when your girls start laying.
