I just wanted to add that while I love colored birds, I'm new to breeding (I've kept production chickens for many years, and raised a few batches of chicks from them just for fun), and one of the factors in my choice of the Whites was that I wouldn't have too much to worry about in the color. I...

Well, I wouldn't cross the two colors, so you'd need to make sure you separated your breeding pens well before you started collecting eggs. That's why I want to just stick with one breed, one variety, and really work on them. I know it's fun to have lots of different breeds and colors in the...

Well, a couple of posters on this long thread mentioned that their Whites were very active foragers, while their Partridges stayed closer to the coop. All things being equal, I'd like to have chickens that can pick up some of their own food part of the year, at least. As long as my dog does...

I'm going to get the Whites from Cackle. I really like the Partridge color best, but the Whites are the original breed, and seem to have some advantage in foraging. I'm concerned about the Whites being more visible to predators, but I do have a livestock guardian dog who seems to finally have...

That sounds good! I was debating back and forth between the Whites and the Partridge/Albertan; read this whole thread hoping to find something that would help me make up my mind! It seemed like a few people were finding the Whites to be smaller than the Partridge, so I'm glad to hear that's...

Thank you for that information! That helps a lot. I already have the info on choosing birds, have had it on hand for several years. I was seriously considering Buckeyes (have had a few before and liked them, but raccoons got them before they started to lay), but in going through the Buckeye...

Thank you! I was thinking I'd probably be able to buy more chicks if I ordered through Cackle, and thus would be able to be more selective in what I kept. I'm going to focus on just the one breed -- it concerns me to see how many breeders only have one pair or trio of birds (and many other...

Does anyone know anything about the Whites that Cackle will be offering in 2014? I'm thinking of ordering from them and working from there. Kathleen
