I'm looking forward to mix breeds. I only have one perch that is 72 inches long and was thinking that if I selected a few smaller bird I could fit 8 hens on that perch. Leghorns are small but currently have Easter Eggers that were to be around 5 lbs each but are about the same size as a RI Red which is not small at around 6.5 lbs.

The leghorns are always so lightweight, but the older those reds get the heftier they get for sure😂 I can see why the weight could be a concern for you lol

I love all of these as well, but I’ve never actually had an Orpington! I might need to get myself some…

You can't really go wrong with Orpingtons IMO. I've never had a mean one. They lay consistently, no health issues so far.....
