Which breed of chicken would be best for my backyard?
I live in the northwest, the winters are wet and mild, with few freezing spells or snow. I want a breed that is not as likely to fly away as I have read some smaller bantam breeds may. The main purpose for my chickens will be egg production.
I only plan on getting 3 to 4 hens depending on their full grown size based on my yard size. I will not be getting a rooster.
I should have said my fence is about 4 feet high at the lowest point. Maybe a little higher.
look into Delaware chickens,or if you dont get alot of mud,Light Brahmas,they are both very docile breeds,and get along well,theyre mostly too large of breeds to be able to cause trouble and escape,however keep away from leghorns,they are very loud and flighty and are able to jump well.
