I'm planning to add 3 girls to my wee flock in the spring. I want decent layers who are friendly. I'm considering between these varieties:
1. Wyandotte
2. Maran
3. Australorp
4. Buff Orp
5. Silkie (aw, what backyard flock is complete without one?)
6. Easter Egger
Marans are listed as not being winter hardy. I live in WA state - the wet side, not the cold side. Typical winter temps are in the high 30-40s. Are Marans OK in those temps?
Suggestions?
Edited b/c I didn't complete my sentence...
