What kind of Chickens are you breeding or do you Breed?

Maybe next year I'll get a Bielefelder male and use him to sustain my flock. I have 4 Bielefelder pullets, and am VERY impressed with them. I like my other ladies (Australorps, blue and black) and on Jubilee Orpington, but (shhhh! don't tell) my Bielefelders are my favorites.

Main focus are my potluck phoenix. Everyone else is pretty much retired now

Right now everything is mixed together while we build more coops in our new place. But eventually we will separate out and breed Silver Laced Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, and a mixed genetics hardy and broodie specific flock.

I don't intentionally breed but I'm incredibly intentional about breeds that I acquire in the event I get a rooster. My objective when I wind up with a Rooster is no barnyard mixes. So I've breed Lavender Orpingtons in the past.

Interesting. All I've done so far with my chickens is intentional outbreeding for health reasons, for hybrid vigor. I would never want to keep a long pure line of anything

Different Objectives..... People around me want purebred chicks, not "I don't really know."

Do you incubate them or use your hens?

Oh, and I want to try and hatch another generation of my white phoenixes

I am breeding Buff Orpingtons, probably some of the easiest to breed! Just wanted to see what everyone else is breeding also!

I don't even know anymore. got some feathery footed Rhode Island Red hybrids, they're black with brownish details in their feathers, and I had another one that had bright fiery orange patches, but she died.
