Are there any plain ol' chicken owners here?

I have both, does that count?

 

I have pure and mixed. I'll keep some pure but I will let some mix. They don't free range because the neighbor's let their dogs roam and our horses may step on them. But, I do let them out to run about the front yard a few hours a day while I am out there watching them.

 

I have both.

 

I have 2 grown RIR's, 2 three month olds, and 2 about 6 day old. Then I have one EE, and one BR, all of these I got from the feed store. I have a game hen that just decided to come live with me. She was living in a tree but now she stays in the barn, she's broody. And then I have a silkie that a friend of mine found lost in the storm and was being attacked by dogs, so she brought her to me to save. They all free range most of the day.

 

Well, I'm plain and a little bit old. But my Buff Orps are gorgeous!

 

I have a combination. My yard flock is an interesting mix of mutts and I love them. There are also pens where we keep the pure breeds seperate.

 

I have two BRs, four Buff Orps, and an incubator full of mutt eggs - and four blue/black orp eggs. I've only been chicken farming for a couple of months, so all of mine are chicks.

 

I'm a plain ol' chicken owner who actually culls and butchers and treats chickens like chickens....is that what you mean? I have a mixed flock and also breeds that I intend to cross over with RIR and Partridge Rock rooosters. I keep chickens for food, for profit and for the pleasure of getting both while keeping a farming tradition alive. The comfort of watching them peck and scratch, and hearing the purr of the hens and the crow of the rooster, brings back memories of grandma's house.

 

I am just a plan old chicken person. I have RIR, cochins, etc and mutts and love them all. started with 4 golden commets . I free range my birds and just use them for eggs for us and friends mostly..
