I'm hooked on Dominiques! They are cold hardy and very personable! They love a good lap to sit on and talk about the day!
You don't need a rooster. Unless you want fertile eggs.
Coop plans - just decide how big you want it and go from there. You can make it a mini of your house! But trust me, make it bigger than you first decide on! Chickens are addictive!
I'd get babies so the kids can enjoy them right from the start! I've ordered from Myers and Stromburg and both were great.
