Which breed should i pick???

[Momofthewild]

Are those prices for day old chicks or adults? Those prices are about 3 times what I would be willing to pay for a chick, let alone what I'd sell them for. Cha-ching!

No its for 8 week olds

Also, I've always wanted a sicilian buttercup, if you have the opportunity to get one then absolutely GO FOR IT! They look like little moose chickens! So cute.

I have a black copper Maran and she is AMAZING! Super friendly, very pretty, and just plain Awesome in every way. Here's a picture of her and her baby. I highly recommend them.View attachment 2352676

I agree! Mine is super sweet and quiet and she is such a good mama when I give her day old chicks to care for!

I agree that Salmon Favorelle would be super friendly, but I worry about integrating her into your established flock as SF are not at all assertive. Good luck with your choices and please share pics after you pick up! (Salmon Favorelle & Orpington are both on my list for next year!)

I'm going to have to vote for the Orpingtons and Favorelle. My Lavander Orpingtons are super snuggly, docile and friendly!

I have to say that my salmon faverolle is one of my favorites. She is just such a fluffy goofball, definitely endearing. I always recommend them.

So my husband said I could have more chickens!!! Lord have mercy. Chicken math is real and its real real bad. I saw a hilarious meme. Extremely accurate.View attachment 2352633
Its like a drug. The excitement of getting more chickens is so addictive. Anyway....a breeder in my area has several breeds to choose from. I currently have silkies, ducks, and then a buff orp, barred rock, silver laced Wyandotte, a splash birchen marans, and a black birchen marans rooster...this breeder has available:

What should I choose??? I definitely want friendly, calm breeds. Thats my biggest deciding factor. Most of my flock are brats. They eat out of my hand and come running to me for treats but not many of them enjoy being pet or picked up. Its always my goal to get ones that are cuddly but it hasn't happened for me so far. Except for my silkies.....anyway....please help! I think 3 is the absolute max I can add right now but 2 is probably more realistic.

Buff orpingtons are sweet and friendly!
