Hello, my name is Alexandra and I own a small, affordable Bed and Breakfast near downtown Denver. Rather than buying grocery store eggs, I wougld like to offer my guests the freshest and most beautiful organic eggs possible. And, because my grandchildren come to visit me, I would like to have the friendliest, most sweetly dispositioned hens available.
SoI have joined BYC, after many hours looking at breeds, coops, and other chicken things. My home is on a very small lot, and I will have to custom build a coop and narrow run - or rather, I hope to find someone who can help me do this. SUGGESTIONS WILL BE APPRECIATED.
The breeds I'm looking at are far too many, since I've decided to start with only two or three chickens. So I will also need help in figuring out what breeds to start with.
Looking at egg production, size, and color, as well as dispositions and attractiveness, here's the list I came up with:
British-Tailed Ameraucana (for blue-green eggs)
Cochin (for cute factor)
Cream Legbar (for sky blue eggs)
Easter Egger (for variety in bird and eggs)
Mixed Breed (for green eggs?)
Olive Egger (for olive eggs?)
