Finally caved and got chickens not what I expected at all. Maybe some questions?

First off, I was against it. Was not wanting extra responsibilities and chores...etc. but caved for the wife and daughter.

Turns out I freaking love these things. Would have never guessed. We have never owned chickens before.

We got 2 Delaware's names plum and blue berry, 2 Easter eggers names Monoco and skunk, 1 buff orpington named cookie, and 1 Rhode Island red named Gustave.

I have to say, the Delaware's are easily the smartest and friendliest. They took zero time to warm up to us and others and always come when we come over.

The Easter eggers are very much dominant I noticed, they seem to run the show, they also don't like being separated. Pretty sure Skunk is top dawg.

The Orpington is really skittish it seems like. Kinda does not want to be around people but fine if you scoop her up.

The Rhode Island red is a wild card, sometimes skittish sometimes friendly sometimes insane.

I noticed the red and the Easter eggers are the most vocal.

They are all still pretty young idk how many weeks like 9-10ish. Almost all have their full coats in. Looking forward to when they produce.

I'll take any tips on breeds. We kinda just mixed and match from our local farm shop, we are in semi rural MA
