Hello. I am brand new to this forum. My husband built me a beautiful coop and I'm ready to begin. I want to get 6 chicks that are about 1-3 weeks old and here's the selection from a local breeder:
Barred Plymouth RocksGolden SexlinksEaster EggersBuff OrpingtonsBlack AustralorpsBlack SexlinksRhode Island RedsWhite LeghornsWhite Plymouth RocksWyandottesNew Hampshire RedsCochins
Which to you recommend for a novice? I hope to have them in the coop with a brooder lamp. The area is enclosed and we live in a mild climate (Central Coastal CA). I know they need to stay quite warm at first.
What would be your pick? Should I get all the same or mix it up?
Thanks!!!
