South East EnglandThe most important factor in determine the best breed is your location. If one raises birds adapted for one's climate, there will be few problems.
If the birds can't handle the climate, they will always be a problem.
Where do you live?
So you are in a relatively mild climate so the majority of breeds will work. Do you have a preference with egg color and productivity?South East England
I prefer breeds with a good egg production but the colour of the egg doesn't bother me at all as I sell the eggs to the publicSo you are in a relatively mild climate so the majority of breeds will work. Do you have a preference with egg color and productivity?
There are different breeds available in the UK than we have here and we have some breeds you don't have so some suggestions may be out of the question.
Ok. This is all so helpful. I'm going to be ordering them tommorow so I'll have a look through all of your suggestions on the morning and make a decision.perhaps orpingtons or Wyandotte’s ? They are friendly, lay a good amount of eggs, and are large birds but not huge.
some people (as in the buying public) seem to think brown eggs are better, healthier, more organic, idk, so you may want to consider playing to that even if its untrue.I prefer breeds with a good egg production but the colour of the egg doesn't bother me at all as I sell the eggs to the public
