Opinions on these breeds? Ordering some chicks!

[cbeth95]

Hi, I will be ordering some chicks and I wanted some opinions on these breeds.
Are they good choices? And will they get along with one another well? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Breeds:
Silkie
Hudan
New Hampshire Red
Sussex
Brahma

(All pullets except for the silkies because they are straight run.) *moved to appropriate thread section*

I don't know anything about a hudan -- are they a crested breed? Sometimes Silkies do OK with other breeds, sometimes not. They may get their head feathers pecked or pulled, or even their head injured. The other 3 will do fine together -- or any large fowl, pretty much.

Yeah, the Hudans are a crested breed. They seem to be called houdan's online. I'm very excited for silkie's! hoping they'll do okay

Glad to know the rest will do good!

Where'd you find the Hudan spelling? If you're talking about a 5 toed, crested bird Houdan is the only spelling I've ever seen. It's spelled that way in both the APA & ABA Standards.

Its spelled hudan on the list of chicks to order from my local feed store. I found it rather weird....must have been a typo?
