New York chickens

[u/GrandPuba1]

I’m looking to get some chickens but not sure what breeds to get. I live in upstate New York. And how many should I start out with?

Our Welsummer is a very consistent layer of 4 eggs per week. She’s a bit noisy, really likes to sing when she or a flock mate lays an egg.
