Thanks so much!!You can't really go wrong, your choices are well thought out. I gave feedback only on the breeds I raise. Just based on my first hand experience if you had
Either DB or Cochins
BCM
CLB
and EE's you would have Light and Dark brown eggs, Blue Eggs, And Greens along with a hearty, easy going flock.
Dark Brahma- My Brahmas have had great longevity, good dispositions and have been great free rangers
Blue/Black/Spash Cochin -I love my Cochins they are not the most prolific layers but they have wonderful personality and get along well in a mixed flock. With the DBs or the Cochin if you have a lot of mud their feathered feet can be messy.
Black Copper Marans- I adore my BCM and the eggs are just beautiful
Cream Legbar- One of my favorite breeds, beautiful, free range well, healthy and good layers of pretty eggs
Buff Orpington - Good layers, easy going, but I haven't had great luck with longevity or free ranging they seem to be the first to get picked off
Easter Egger- I love their looks, personality, lots of fun colored eggs, and easy to get along with.
