Hello there! WalnutTree here! So i'll be raising my first chicks in April 2021 (ordering from Meyer Hatchery) and i have a question on mixing breeds. I may not have the experience of a chicken owner, but i have been researching on them for the past year. One of the main things i researched heavily was breeds. I took a lot of time to come up with what i think is a perfect ratio of docile and calm birds. The time is getting close for me to place a hatch order, and i'm getting a little nervous, but i've heard that's normal?
Anyway, i have a lot of varieties i'll be getting, and i'm just hoping they can get along with each other... so if you have any of the breeds i'm getting i'd love to hear what they're like, and your experience with mixed flocks. These are the breeds i'll be getting:
Standards:
1 Buckeye
1 Black Australorp
1 Buff Orpington
1 Green Queen
1 Speckled Sussex
1 Mottled Houdan
1 Salmon Favorelle
Bantams:
1 Black Frizzle Cochin
1 Buff Brahma
1 Buff Silkie
2 Blue Silkie
