Pickin' the Right Frickin' Chicken: Guide to Picking Backyard Chicken Breeds

I realize this is an older article but I was looking for something that explained breeds of chickens for a new member. This was great! Thank you!

Dropping by in 2023 to say thanks for the useful information! <3

The charts are incredibly helpful!

Loads of great advice. People choose chickens for so many different reasons so chose the breed that best suits your own needs.

This is a helpful article, especially for those just starting out with chickens, that looks at the various factors that should be considered when selecting a breed.

Thank you.

There's a LOT of information here, but it's well organized and easy to follow. Nicely Done!

I really like the way this is organized. This is a great reference guide to use when building you flock. Well researched and thoroug.
Well done and thanks for taking the time to write this.

Fantastic resume', thank you.

nice review on issues to consider when choosing breed(s), especially for folks new to chickens

Very useful information

The only thing I would add is comb and wattles. They play a large role in how they adapt to climate.

Helpful but limited in breeds. Article should be updated to add them
