They have grown on me. I have come to appreciate the style. They have a way about them on the yard that is hard not to notice.

A well managed flock is not difficult to manage.

Exactly.

Hear, hear! If anything, the Meds are much better suited to free ranging and thus feeding themselves and reducing the feed bill while providing more eggs - win win! I have thought I wanted colored Leghorns for the longest time, but every time I see your Anconas I swoon.

Hmmm...perhaps this is a hint from the universe that might be saying something to you. ;-)

Absolutely true Yellow House. Most of my Andalusians are not flighty either. True, they don't enjoy being caught but I don't think I know of many birds that come and ask to be picked up (though I did have ONE a long time ago). They're certainly not Orpingtons or Rocks but they don't leap into the rafters every time I walk into the barn by a long shot.

Precisely, they're egg-layers with energy, an excellent ability to rustle up a substantial part of their intake. They're alert and much more capable of taking care of themselves on range
.

And elegant? Blue Andalusians with good lacing are such a beautiful bird.

Just a few pics of our White and Black Javas ranging from chicks to "semi" retired, lol

Quote: I am new to chickens (so new in fact that I have yet to purchase any) and recently had an epiphany about what my family truly needs to gain from a flock of chickens. I sat down and quickly jotted down the traits of what I believe to be our ideal chicken and have realized that the Mediterranean class is very well suited. I'm taking interest in this thread.

Thanks,
M

Hi All

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed this educational thread. The thread sort of ran it's course over the last 6 months as interest waned. It also takes a bit of time to manage properly.

So again, thanks to everyone who shared in it. Perhaps we'll re-open it some time in the future. Who knows.
