Welcome to BYC. Good luck in establishing and maintaining your flock.

I agree that you need to build the coop for at least 24. It’s just logical.

Good luck with your new adventure, and be sure to share pictures!

Glad to have you here, are you wanting chickens for eggs, meat of both?

Our chickens will be primarily for egg production at first. I think we would like to venture into raising meat chickens in a couple of years.

If you are not into holding them as pets, Leghorns are hard to beat for egg production...

If you wanted more of a chance to hold them, then I would suggest Buff or Lavender Orpington, both would still give you plenty of eggs and not be so skittish...
