Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

Australorp

I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

Hi folks...thought I'd say hello and see if there are any fellow Duvallians on here. I am going to convert our 8x8 dog run into a chicken coop and have been researching designs, breeds, and all things related to raising chickens when I came upon this site. Looks like a wealth of information at my fingertips. I am leaning toward raising a few Orpingtons and am curious if anyone knows a reputable breeder in our area...

Cheers!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

There is a very active Washington thread, check in the Where am I - Where are you section of the forum

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
