If you kept only one breed...

Chickens are a gateway drug. You start with chickens next you know you have geese, ducks and quail. You’re not happy if your egg basket doesn’t look like a rainbow and you’re downloading chicken breed charts to see if you can get a splash chick. Once you’re hooked one breed is never enough. That said Barred Rocks or EE but only if there was a gum to my head.

Couldn’t have said it better

Chicken people have OCCD (Obsessive Chicken Collecting Disorder). I've got it chronically. Best disorder ever, though.

Yes same here! We have one Cream Legbar and she is pretty much our pet dog

They are special. We enjoy all of our birds and have had a dozen or so breeds. But the sweet nature and fun combination of blue eggs, crests, autosexing etc has easily made the cream legbars our favorites.

They can indeed be a lot like dogs. May even be better, as my mastiff and yorkie are yet to lay the first egg.

You guys are weak can’t even pick one breed.

For me it would definitely be d’Anvers. Not only are they just the most adorable things you ever saw in your life, they also have the best personalities I have ever encountered in a chicken. I can only describe them as terrier-like, they think they’re a lot bigger than they are. They’re great fliers, which some people like and others don’t.
Additionally, they are incredibly easy to breed, and the rose comb, beard, and clean legs makes for a bird who can easily endure Wisconsin winters.

Lovely birds!
I have them too and adore them.

I completely agree with you on the little fluffy bootys and the way they walk!

I love my little bantam Cochin girl too!

For weather-hardiness and egg production we always get Barred Plymouth Rocks. We also get a second breed and over the years have been happy with Rhode Island Reds and Buff Orpingtons. This year we raised Cinnamon Queens along with the BPRs.

The question is simple: if you could only keep one breed, whether or not you have it now, which one would you choose? I realize that this is a hard question, as a lot of people keep different breeds for different reasons. But the fun questions are rarely the easy ones.

Faverolles! The two I had were so sweet though kinda loud

Yeah! I know if I was able to, I'd keep getting more chickens. They're all so sweet and I love taking care of them and learning about them
