Comparing breeds

[Hawks93]

Hi y’all
I was hoping we all can talk about raising different breeds/ cross breeds of chickens ? What your experience has been like which each breed?

Currently I have Barred Plymouth Rocks, Americanas( recent Ameraucana cross) , an Easter egger and a Silverudd blue

And overall I find the Barred rocks to be very docile and curious. The americanas are docile as well but a bit less reluctant to be lap birds and fight the most amongst each other. The Easter egger is bossy to the other birds, but will allow herself to be petted. The Silverudd blue is quiet, less active and docile as well, she can be bit standoffish to the other birds.

So many nice pictures.. I don't know this breeds.
I had an ordinary layer chicken which was very docile and sweet too.. This reaction gives you a bump to the top anyway

My Dominique is my favorite hen so far. She’s curious and friendly and lays well too. I had a Salmon Faverolles that was a character too.
