What breed of chicken should I get?

[Miss Cheep]

I really like the looks of the golden laced polish; I think that's what I'll get! So do you guys know what hatchery has white leghorns and golden laced polish, and is available in April or March? Thanks!

Cackle and McMurray! I've ordered from both and I love their birds. Cackle has yielded me some nice exhibition birds too.

I also recommend Minorcas as white egg layers (tall slender birds with lovely tails) and Brahmas (very loving, great mothers, big brown eggs)

IMO, Polish, Wyandottes, or standard Cochins would be best for your situation.

Good luck!

I have looked at both hatcheries golden laced polish, but cackle hatchery chicks aren't sexed, and I specifically want a girl, and Mcmurray hatchery has a 6 chick minimum, so is there any hatcheries that have them sexed?

Meyer has them sexed. 3 chick minimum in April if you can wait a month. Shipping cost is high though. How many chicks were you going to get? Maybe find someone in your area and split an order with them?

We are going to order 4 female white leghorns and 1 golden laced polish from somewhere.

Thank you for the suggestions! I will research those breeds! I also have another question: What kind of chicken are these? I really like the coloring on it. ( got this pic from the internet) If this is a bantam is there any chicken that looks like this that is not a bantam?
