So many to choose from!!

[Lost Farmer]

So by about spring ill have my chicken coop done and my goat pen done. I know what goats im getting, but the choice on cluck clucks is not yet set in stone. I really havent had a bad chicken. Ive had white leghorns, americanas (i called them my hawks), RIR, RSL, barnyard mutts, Orpingtons, BSL, and RIR. I lost track after a while, I actually supplied my entire work with farm fresh eggs every week, the chickens paid for there own feed, IT WAS AWESOME. Im no looking to get something different, I was looking at BCM (Black Copper Maran) dont know much about them other than they are a show bird and produce a dark copper color egg. Id like to try my hand at them. What could i expect for egg production? Health problems from them? Temperament? My flock will be about 10 large, ill have a mix of RSL, orpingtons, and now BCM. Maybe one rooster if he stays nice.

TIA

Still would like to hear from some owners though and maybe point me in some other interesting chickens to play with
