I'm looking for chicks to start my own little flock, but I'm having trouble deciding on a final breed. Any suggestions?
What I like in a chicken
- good free-rangers
- well tempered roosters
- not too common, but not so rare that I will never find them if I want more
- relatively good layers
- Big (I would rather not clip their wings, but if I have too, I will)
- quiet/er
- They need to do well in cold wet climates
