What breed should I get?

[MeganBack]

im looking to add more chickens to my current flock. I have about 15 silkies and 3 olive eggers and I’m wanting to get a breed that lays a lot. I hardly get any eggs cause most of my chickens are silkies. I want a breed that is sweet too and will get along with the others! What breeds should I get!?

I would get Australorps. They lay 250/yr, aren't bullies and aren't bullied, and they lay a brown, slightly pink-tinted egg.

Can't go wrong with Buff Orpingtons, either!

I was going to say silkies but... you have that covered! Naked necks are sweet and pretty good layers, and I have heard good things about Wyandottes (which come in bantam) and Orpingtons (also comes in bantam). Cochins and Brahmas are very silkie-like but not great layers.

I actually have 12 naked necks in my incubator right now so I’m excited now!! I was going to sell them but I may just keep them.

I don't know what you need here is some reading material for you to decide your own needs.
