I'm looking for a few preferably blue and/or splash Orpingtons for our first chickens. I've built a nice run and coop and our 2 kids really like that color variation. 4 pullets and a cockerel or 2 would probably be a good start, but would set up a brooder for young chicks, if necessary. Wyandottes seem to have very similar and interesting color schemes as well and apparently comparable characteristics for first timers--may have to go that route.
Thank you
