I'm new to chickens and am wanting to get some that will lay brown eggs, (just a personal pref honestly), I've been suggested some breeds but was also referred to this forum so thought I'd ask, which ones are the best ones to have? I'm also looking to get the chicks in in the next 3 or so weeks, and can anyone recommend a hatchery? Our feed store will not order just the females, and I don't want to end up with a lot of males.
