We don't really have the space to separate breeds. Can probably separate a pair at a time to breed tho...I always would lean towards a mixed flock for the reasons that other posters have said, and also because it is easier to tell if a chicken is hurt as they stop laying (hens only, of course, lol) their colored egg, which significantly narrows it down. I purposefully keep a small and diverse flock for that reason, and also because it is pretty. If you guys (your husband) don't like mutts, you could keep them separated by breed and just have a few of each breed in each area. Personally though, for dual purpose, Buffies are pretty great
