I can't give you any advice on breeds but just food for thought....Hope you have good neighbours?

There is no need to have a cockerel, infact the hens will propably do better without, I've kept hens for a number of years and I've had more problems with hens when I've had a cockerel in with them than without.

I agree about the cockerel - you only need one if you want to breed and they are far more likely to upset the neighbours than a few hens.

I keep 6 hens in the back garden and the neighbours never complain - I keep them sweet with odd few eggs. A couple of people in the village have cockerels and you can hear them from a long long way off.
