What breeds should I get?

[DarlingChicken]

So, after receiving lots of help from people about what to do with my (way too) broody hen, I have decided to get some day old chicks to stick under her.

Now comes the hard part... deciding what chicks to get!
I have 8 open spots in my coop, and will be getting a single rooster, because I miss my old one so much.
Here are the breeds I’m considering, all from a specialist poultry breeder:

• Cream Legbar
• Golden Cuckoo Maran
• Jubilee aNd Tolbunt Polish Cross
• Blue Splash Orpington

Should I get two of each breed? I’m thinking of having the cockerel be a Golden Cuckoo Maran....

The picture is what the Jubilee cross look like

Sounds like fun! Without know much about the breeds or your intent I'm just going by what is pretty!
The Jubilee cross is beautiful, and the Blue Splash Orps would be my other pick.

I have a young Cuckoo Maran cockerel, around 5-6 weeks old. He's a bit of a knuckle head already. I don't really know much about Marans in general, and this guy might just be a rude rooster, who knows.

Going just by looks though, the GC Maran is one handsome bird.
