I currently have 13 Polish chickens (one cockerel, 12 pullets). Every time someone visits I hear compliments on their "afros"! They are a joy to watch and great for shows! Not the best layers, but they get the job done!

I've had Cornish Cross's as my meat birds for years now and LOVE those sweethearts! They are evil! They make you fall in love, then you have to butcher them soon after!! They wonder and forage GREAT but trust me, they can eat! Lovely birds with rapid growth. Just watch out for health problems as a result.

I had a batch of Wyandottes I was planning to show at fair (signed up for the wrong class ). They are bigger than other birds I've had so I'd consider them dual purpose. They are really beautifully feathered birds that come in any color really! I got silver laced and was transfixed! Reliable brown egg layer that's great for shows!

I received my Orpington as a free bird in a shipment of Polish chickens. I'm starting to fall more for her than for the birds I've bought!! She's calm and easily adapted to being with a different breed. SHe hasn't layed yet, but I've heard Orpingtons are great layers! Reliable birds!

I had Barred Rocks as my first ever 4-H birds. I thought they looked like zebras and was in love (of course that was all I cared about then)! They were fabulous for show (3rd in pullet class), great layers, and really easy to fall in love with! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN NEW TO BIRDS!
