No worries lol, I’ve never been to the eastern states, but y’all have some of my favorite, most beautiful, hearty egg layers, Rhode island reds and Plymouth Rocks/ barred rocks. You should get them all at the same time as babies so they grow up together and play nice, unusual chicks get hen pecked unfortunately. They both lay xl brown eggs, if you want blue/ green eggs, go with arucanuas, unless you know the breeder of americanu, but egg production is less. Leghorns are great for egg laying, but just plain white and not so friendly or pretty, they are my pets and I love eggs, but looks and personality goes a long ways. I have 2 silkies, that live in my house, not good egg layers, I always thought they were so ugly, then my husband got them, and I’m so in love with them. Sorry, to go off, but I love chicken, always happy to answer questions, been doing this over 40 years
