The wife and I have been wanting to keep chickens for several years and this thread finally spurred me to action. We're looking for something for our kids to help out with and really just want egg layers, though meat isn't out of the question down the road.

Going with the egg laying thing and wanting some variety we're looking at some combination of the following breeds: Jersey Giant, Wyandottes, Buff Orpington and Plymouth Rock.

If it matters, we live in Central Florida so it gets pretty darn muggy and hot, but the area we are building the coop and run is pretty well shaded and gets most of its sunlight from sunrise to 11 AM.

Anyone have any gotchas they notice from breed to coop location or anything inbetween?
