Pros: EVERYTHING!!
Cons: NONE
This is by far the best breed I have! Piper is very tame, loves to be picked up and snuggled, is funny, very smart, very healthy, brave and she lays great eggs. I would get a lot more of these If I had the room! I reccomend these birds to anyone who has other pets and kids. She is not scared of our 2 little dogs at all, and is great with kids. This is going to sound weird, but she reminds me of a cat. haha. LOVE THIS BREED!!!
Pros: Heat and Cold tolerant; very kind; very tough; good layer
Cons: Weird molts
I love my New Hampshire chicken. She is a good layer, and super nice! She was very shy at first but she now lets me hold and pet her. On sunny days we sit on the porch swing together and she loves it. Everyone should add some to their flock! The only thing I did not like was it scares me when she molts. She loses her head and neck feathers along with her tail so those things are bald for a while. Then they all grow back and she looks okay. Other than that she is an excellent excellent chicken even for first time chicken owners.
She also knows her name. If you call her and make a kissy sound with your lips, she comes RUNNING from wherever she is in our yard (I have 2 acres).
Favorite chicken breed. Hands down.
Pros: decent layer, nice to birds, humans, and cats, great handler, i like how their feathers look
i like their feathering. they lay decently. very docile and nice. i am glad i picked this breed.
i have one roo and he is very gentle and will come up too me and eat out of my hand i love
Pros: personality, good sized eggs, funny
Cons: poops all over my back porch. :)
We love our NHR hen, Sugar. She's sweet, not very loud, and the most affectionate of the 3 hens we have. She lays well, follows me all over the yard 'helping' with gardening and chores, and jumps up to snatch food right from your hands.
Pros: good eggs, friendly
Cons: can be mean if not handled a lot
I like this chicken a lot and will probably get some more!
I bought her at around 3 months old, and she is the meanest chicken alive. She will likely end up on our dinner table!
Pros: Large, beautiful, Friendly, gentle, concerned, good lookout
We have a New Hampshire Rooster. He displays typical rooster behavior towards hens,but in comparing him with other Roosters I've had, he puts on alot of show to get the hen's acceptance first. He is not overly pesky. He is protective of them and is an excellent lookout for aerial and potential ground predators. (He is a Free Ranger-with the rest). He is friendly and allows himself to be picked up by myself or the kids. Gorgeous fluff and feathers. He has a great personality and demeanor.
Pros: Funny, friendly, make nice eggs, Every Day! good lookin, smart, cute fluffy bums, easy to handle
Cons: havent found any yet...
Pros: Beutiful, gret layers
Cons: large
great birds for anyone who is looking for looks and eggs!
