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?

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.

You want good eggs? Make sure the bird has a good diet and plenty of water.

Here’s a video of a song I wrote. I think folks on this thread would appreciate it.

Or maybe you just want a friendly companion with gorgeous plumage?

Having a chicken willing to be my best friend is something I've always wanted.......why, we could go for walks together and I could even take it to PetSmart shopping, they allow animals in there. And on tranquil, sunny days, I could take the top off my car and we could go on long, scenic drives together...........

What a great idea!

I think I’ve settled on Nanking chickens, a bantam breed that goes broody at the drop of a hat. I want to raise a variety of birds (including ducks, quail, geese, and turkeys) but don’t want to mess with incubators, so hopefully these will do my incubating for me.

Granted, this is still on hold until I get my house built.

looking for an “attack breed” that goes after polticians...

I wish we could raise chickens, but it is against city ordinances. I remember having fresh eggs when I was on the farm.

Forgot to ask you about your foot. I noticed you posted on the gardening thread that you had broken it. Doing OK with it for now?
