I'm hopefully going to be getting chickens sometime before next year, and I'm clueless on what birds I should get or how many. I'm totally new to chickens.
The traits I'm looking for in a breed are,
Good free ranger. The predators we mostly have are large feral cats, occasional falcon, opossums, rats, stoats, ferrets.
Able to tolerate our temperatures (17 to 104f).
Long lived, healthy.
Docile, good with people.
Decent egg production.
Able to naturally hatch chicks, would like to get a rooster.
For pets and eggs.
As for number of birds, there is 6 people in my family that eat eggs if that helps.
