Attractive Chart that Shows Popular Breeds of Chickens?

[Bullitt]

Is there an attractive chart that shows popular breeds of chickens? I would like it to show hens and roosters for each breed and it would be nice if it had both brown-egg layers, like Rhode Island Red, and white-egg layers, like Leghorn.

Something that is attractive and can be displayed on the wall of a shop would be nice. It could be a print based on paintings of chicken breeds.

Does anyone know of something like this?

I know my local farm store has a couple fantastic full-sized posters showing the most popular chicken breeds. Those posters were made by the hatchery where they get their chicks for sale. I can't remember exactly what they were, but I think one had a picture of chicks/adults in that breed, and the other I think showed what color the eggs each breed would give you. For a high quality poster, I'd contact the hatcheries - you might even get one sent to you for free!

Also, Google pictures has lots of photos you could print out. For example:

Here is one from Mana Pro which I think is a feed company, so maybe other feed companies might have posters for sale.

Even if you have to pay for a poster from a hatchery or a feed company, it would probably be of a much higher quality than you could print out at home on your computer. Good luck.

Those both look nice. I especially like the one that says based on paintings by Paul Chapman.

I wish it had hens and roosters.

Maybe I will have to get more than one.

Agree with @gtaus, usually the hatcheries send one out to the stores they ship chicks. May be able to contact someone at the big hatcheries for one. I've seen a Privett poster that had both hens and roosters I believe. I will try googling it for you.

Yep, was able to find the link to their posters.

Yes, most of the major hatcheries have posters available that are usually for sale, unless you are a feed store and carrying their chicks. They may include posters for free then, but I'm not sure.

If you like the old look which I enjoy! There are some on Amazon to...

Very nice posters. I think the Poster Standard is close to what you are looking for. Check out the link and maybe give them a call. Other hatcheries may have additional options. In any case, the hatchery posters I see at our local farm store are much better than anything I could print out at home.

Amazon.com also sells some chicken posters, but I find them more artistic and less informational like you described. Still, it is worth a look.

I got a nice poster for free from a hatchery, but that was about 30 years ago. I'd still make a list of hatcheries and check out their websites and/or give them a quick call.

I see the listed in the back of the catalogs for sale now.

I remember these looking nice in stores that have displayed them.

Here are some examples of them.

Thank you for all the great suggestions.

I like this, but I wish there were more breeds.
