I thought that many of the ladies that I have spoken to, or read about on this site might enjoy my wife's new venture.

Which of these two breeds would make the best pet for first time chicken owner, looking for a quiet flock in limited space and produce a few eggs from time to time? Other breeds I'm over looking?
Oh I see, that is terribly sad. I'm glad I know where to find them when I'm able to start caring for my own little flock. Do you know where the breed originated?
Thanks for chiming in Hinkjc,
I am thrilled that people like you are in this world to protect a breed as deserving as the pyncheon. When you mention longevity issues you mean they simply don't live long? or are they susceptible to disease and illness?
I really like the looks of this bantam and I am wondering, if anyone has any input on them?

Well I appreciate everyone's input. it sounds like I'm heading in the right direction, looking at the right breeds. When I get every thing lined out I'm sure it won't be that big of a deal when chicks follow me home one day. I'm sure that's the way it's going to happen.
My wife is...
Yes the Silkies are super cute, however my wife is not the type easily won over by something cute. She needs to see that the cost of feed is = or less than the cost of feed, that they don't stink (which is her big argument) because her grandpa never cleans his coop ever. And that they will not...
My wife still won't let me have chickens, but I want them BAD! I love researching the different breeds and imagining how much fun it will be to watch my very own chasing crickets it the yard. But I had a thought just recently...
Is there a breed that doesn't crow? Maybe a mute chicken?
