Help me out with a school project?

[princessmalon]

I'm doing a project on backyard chickens...if you could answer the following questions that would be great!

If you own chickens in your backyard:


1. Where are you from? (No need to be town-specific, state or province is fine!)

2. Why do you have them? A: Eggs B: For the Kids C: Meat D: All of the above (anything else, let me know!)

3. What breeds to do you own?


Thanks!

I have about 50 straight run chickens in Bigfork, Montana. I have them for eggs and meat and so my great grandchildren can be around chickens when they visit. I have Road Island Reds, Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Cuckoo Marans, Black stars, Salmon Faverolles, and Ameraucanas. Hope that helps.

Palestine, Texas. I have them for eggs and just love to watch chickens peck. The grand children get to choose a breed each year.
I have oeg bantams and cochin bantams.
My large fowl breeds are Rhode Island reds, Barred Rocks, Black sex links, Black Cochin, Turkens and Easter Eggers and one Sultan. I love an ecclectic flock. My favorite breed is The Missouri Super Egg machine # 365s from Marti poultry. Good luck on your project!
