Pick my next 4 chickens ** thankyou!**

[patman75]

My 4 chickens are not cutting it. I need more

. But I'm not sure what to get. I have ideas but I like to hear from the gallary what they would pick?

Here is the important info.

1. I already have White Leghorn, Buff Orpington, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Isa Brown. Need something different. I like variaty.

2. Primary use is Egg laying (but I dont need all Leghorns or Isa Browns)

3. Spring-Fall in chicken tractor with additional free range time, Winter in coop.

4. Michigan Winters.

5. No roosters.

Thanks Everyone!

4 Easter Eggers

Colourful egg basket AND colourful hens

 

[Hoosiermomma]

Australorps, buckeyes or welsummers?

 

[BarkerChickens]

EEs or Buckeyes! If you don't mind keeping an eye on the single combs or rubbing vaseline on them if it is exceptionally freezing, salmon Faverolles and Delawares are nice too since they lay in the winter months as well (though much less than their spring/summer volumes).

RIRs are nice. I like my Amber sex-link too.

 

[delawaregirl09]

I would suggest Delawares. They are really good all year round!!

 

[cwhit590]

I would say EE's and Barred Rocks.

4 of the same kind, or four different kinds?

I would say an EE, a welsummer, an Australorp, and a barred rock. That gives you a ton of different colored eggs and feathers.

Leghorns also come in different varieties, just in case you liked leghorns but you didn't want more because they all look alike. I know Ideal sells at least 9 different varieties of leghorns. I honestly had no idea leghorns came in so many colors until I looked up their site.

 

[Kittymomma]

An Easter Egger, Wellsummer, Marans and Austrolorp. Lots of variety in hen color, egg color and personality! Fun isn't it?

RIR or if you can ge them RIRxIsa Browns I love the look of my girls who are crosses!
