We are going to get chicks this week, and I'm thinking 6 at the most although we should probably only get 4. So my question is, would it be a bad idea to get two of one breed (probably Rhode Island Red) and one each of other breeds (Ameracauna and Orpington)? Do the ones that have a majority gang up on the others?
Also, does anyone have an opinion on which of those breeds would be best? We want these chickens for eggs (just for friends and family) and as pets -- sort of. At the very least we want them to be docile...
