Yay! I’m coming home with chickens one day. Already warned hubby. I think I want a smaller breed, and no roosters! I was nearly flogged as a child and I’m still afraid of roosters.

Because of that experience, a breed known for being docile would be good. ;-)

Buff’s are my favorites and are the majority of my flock.

Hi, Diana! Do you know if a person can have different types of chickens together or do you have to select one specific breed? I have always wondered if a person could have various breeds so the eggs would vary as well?

Cool thread.

I was at a county fair not long ago and discovered a breed of chickens known as Silkies. They sure are pretty.
BTW, that reminds me of an old joke:
This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken. And the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs."

Oookayyyyyy.....Which breed of chicken should I get if I want a chicken that will beat the snot out of coyotes? I’m thinking about carrying a chicken around with me (like Paris Hilton does with the designer dogs). What kind of chicken would I need to match my black shoes? I like to stop off after work and have a few drinks. Which chicken breed is good at bar conversation? I’m thinking of forming a chicken drill-team. Which breed is good at gymnastics?

Several of my neighbors have chickens that I have to avoid running over while driving home from work in the morning (free range chickens apparently). If I were to accidentally run over one or several of these chickens, would the brown feathered ones, or the white feathered ones with the red legs fry up better?

We bought 22 white austrolops and they started producing really early. We got them april 16 and they started laying aug 15 . We are up to about a dozen a day. Great birds.

what if I want a chicken that can handle both 120 degree summer heat and -30 degree cold of winter in nebraska sandhills...and fight off predators?

Been raising my first flaock (all crossbreeds) for eggs this year. I have Barred Rocks and both Gold and Black Sexlinks. I have a dozen total. We are averaging 11 eggs a day.
Oh yeah, raising our own turkeys for the holiday season this year too. Turkey eggs taste like chicken.....eggs.
