Hi @britchesbrambles 
congrats on moving to your new place! This is our last and final move now that my husband will be retiring from the Army in less than 2 years. Very excited to finally be in our forever home! As for the chickens, we have two breeds at the moment.  We started out with the Mottled English Orpingtons. They are a large dual purpose breed. we like them as they are very docile and make great pets.  Down side is they take FOREVER to start laying.  We purchased a breeding trio in August 2017 and we just started getting eggs from them in November.   The other smaller black birds are just your run of the mill black sex-link. they are a little noisier than the Orpingtons but are great layers.  We have 6 of them and get about 4 eggs a day from them.  I get a random Orpington egg every other day - If I did not like them so much they would probably have been put in the pot already.  
Happy Homesteading!!

This is our final move, as well.  That's why I'm over-thinking everything. :D  I want to make as few missteps as possible in setting up the infrastructure here.  I just requested catalogs from a few hatcheries to help us decide what breeds to raise.  We really like Black Australorps and don't care at all for Bovan Browns; that much I know!
