What to add to the flock?

[njgrlluvpaboy]

I currently have 6 Speckled Sussex as my starter flock. I would like to eventually like to add on. I am debating on either staying with the Sussex or adding a different breed. I am interested in either egg layers or dual purpose. I was looking for something that would be a good match. I have 15month old and a baby due in September so temperament is important. Thank you for any suggestions.

Look no further than the amazing, kid friendly and loveable Buff Orpington! Check out my review on them here, and I promise that you will look no further!! After you see the review, you can see many more adventures of my kids with their Buff Orpingtons and what a sweet and wonderful breed they truly are by clicking here. Welcome to BYC!

Hi. Does the friendliness apply to all orpingtons or just buff? I've been wanting to add some buffs to my flock, however a local breeder has Lemons(?) and was wondering if they will be just as friendly.

The freindliest chicken is definently a Black Australorp! The roosters are nice too! RIR's make meen roosters so dont get those unless they are grown and u know they are hens. Black Australorps are great layers and they are pretty too see:


As pretty as a princess u might say:
