I'm ordering chicks with my next financial aid installment (I know, not a school expense, but whatever). I need some birds that will be hardy in cold and heat and preferably ones that will go broody. I've narrowed it down to a few breeds that I like, has anyone had any of these and can tell me if they're good birds? I'll be ordering 25 of the final choice from Sand Hill Preservation Center.
Norwegian Jaerhons
Russian Orloffs
Iowa Blue
Andalusian (I know they aren't cold hardy or broody, but I'm a sucker for any blue animal)
or just more Buckeyes, which if I get those, they'll be Mom's birds, not mine
