Ok BYC'ers...I spent the day waiting on the repair man and utilized my time wisely. I was able to catch up on my breed readings and came up with a list. I know everyone has their own opinion on which breed is best, etc...but I was hoping for some feedback on my list. I came up with 11 possibilities. (I am only allowed 8) So I was wondering what good combinations I could possibly derive from these 11. Here's my list (in alphabetical order, yes...I waited THAT long for the repair man) and happy posting!!
Keep in mind we're looking for good layers, possibly good eaters, one that weathers Central (more southeastern/central) NC climate well and is generally docile (I know that term is relative). Also if a roo would not be compatible with certain combinations, that would be an added bonus of information (again, I know every case is different, but I'm speaking in general terms...from YOUR experience). Please and Thank You!!
1. Australorp (Black Australorp), 2. Brahma, 3. Buckeye (ok...this one is not a necessity, but it does pay homage to my home state), 4. Cochin, 5. Delaware, 6. Jersey Giant, 7. New Hampshire (New Hampshire Red), 8. Orpington, 9. Plymouth Rock, 10. Rhode Island, 11. Wyandotte.
