I got a mix of dark colored egg laying chicken. These are for eggs and practice livestock raising, so I got a mix of R.I. Red, Plymouth Rock, Amerucana,Speckled Sussex, and Cu Cu Maran.

Sounds like a nice mix. I had some speckled sussex as well years ago. Handsome birds. My little guys are in the brooder in the basement waiting for full feathers when they can go outside. I went with some giant breeds this time. The token araucana for oddly colored eggs and a few leghorns simply because the lay eggs like crazy.

Plymouth Rocks / Barred Rocks are a solid bird. Dual purpose, lays a large brown egg, and handles cold climates very well. Mine free range but when I pull into the driveway, they come a running knowing I'll give them a little scratch. Very friendly and social birds.

The chicks came yesterday, and they are doing very well. They are somewhat antsy when I come around, but are doing well. The plymouths are actually the most aggressive as of yet, being the only ones to peck me so far. lol
