Suitable breeds for beginner

i have 3 delightful warren hybrids am also a newbie they are friendly easily handled and reliable layers named madeline margo and marmite, hardy birds. good luck with it all i'm hooked.

Mine too friendly and docile  

I've got three ISA Browns which are described as 'laying hybrids' - a cross between the Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island White breeds. They look just like warrens but I don't know if there is any difference.  The breeder said they are bred mainly as battery hens but that more and more people are buying them for the back garden. Our girls are lovely, friendly, easy to handle - they are rosey away all the time but quietly, and each lays an egg every day (virtually!).

Hybrids are very good for beginners, I was told -  my experience so far is that it was good advice!

I got a white star,gold star,black star,& what I think is a sussex reverse.Brilliant birds,all of them have their individual character.White star is tamest & nosiest!gold star is naughtiest & greediest!black star is the best layer,but the least tame,& my beautiful sussex reverse is bossy & talkative.Hope this helps,good luck,have fun choosing
