    A good chicken breed?

    Hi there, I personally love any variety of Sussex. They are moderate layers (260-280 eggs per year), but they are the most docile and loving chickens getting around. (In my opinion).

    Official BYC POLL: Chicken Keeping - Easier, same or harder than dogs/cats?

    I personally can say that chickens are easier to to care for than dogs. This is mainly due to the fact that dogs and cats can have rather large vet bills where as chickens don't. Chickens are also just generally easier to maintain than dogs.

    What sex/breed is this?

    Hi there, Is it rather large for 9 weeks? If so, I would say that it could most likely be a Cornish cross or a White rock. :) Hope this helps

    Hi ChickenMorals, i practically agree with everything that the other members are saying, But, i would like to outline some other dangers: 1. Chickens and stupid boys do not mix. Teenagers, (i'm assuming you are in high school), are known for the abuse of animals as they find it amusing. 2...
