I’m thinking speckled Sussex but don’t seem really easy to come buy where I live!

Thanks for the link

Hello @EmCC. Nice to meet you! Speckled Sussex are a nice friendly breed. If you look for chickens called POL (Point of lay), they are about 16 weeks old, you should find some sellers. Also there is several Facebook groups that sell/trade chickens.

Whitestars are probably the best layers ever! I have 4 and they seem to keep laying all year!

Thanks, i’ll Have a look. Are they quiet? And do they mind a smaller space?

Chickens are as noisy as chickens are! Generally they are pretty quiet until they lay, then they can be a bit squawky! Cockerals will make more noise. How much space do you have? If you haven't much space have you thought about bantams? I have a couple of cochins that are really friendly and reasonably good layers. Downside is you only get small eggs from them!

Hi! I am from Oxford, England. I've got 13 beautiful hens now (4 have unfortunately died in the past). 10 of them me and my partner have rescued through BHWT. 2 are Araucanas, a thoroughbred and plain, and our Araucana hatched 1 bantam chick when we got her some fertile eggs as she went broody. Their names are;
Big Mumma, Clementine, Pee-Wee, Pandora, Tufty, Speckle, Coco, Nesbit, Pickle, Cupra, Mystik, Ginger and Tinkle.
