Does anyone know of any comprehensive spreadsheet that documents most of the breeds and their tendencies, habits, needs?

Thank you in advance.

All breeds have the same basic needs.


Are there a few specific breeds you are interested in?

Thank you, that will do. I was just interested in finding a handy cheat-sheet. We started raising about 16 birds from chick starting in the spring. But there are 6 breeds between them all. They all get along. I just wanted to make sure they'll keep getting along as they reach maturity, which is in the near future.

What breeds do you have?

Every breed is different, and no article will ever list the over two thousand chicken breeds that can be found across the world. Some are so unknown that only a few people have heard of them.

Henderson's breed chart lists basic information about multiple breeds, a good place to look.

It is always a good idea to inform yourself about the general characteristics of the breeds that you have. However all of them are individuals who may or may not conform to those generalizations. Even in a flock of all the same breed, there will be a hiarchy, and not all may get along. You will not know how your group will sort themselves out until they do. Enjoy watching the process, and learning about your individuals as it happens. This can be one of the joys of having chickens.

I will try making one, just for fun. I don’t think i’ll put a lot of breeds that i haven’t owned or my family members haven’t owned. I’d rather speak out of experience instead of speaking off of what google says.

Here is just a little rough list i made. Keep in mind i’m basing off experience and not so much of what google says, so follow it loosely please, it will be different for each person. I have no clue if this is exactly what you’re looking for.
something to keep in mind is that many normal sized birds can be a bantam. With a bantam cochin there is a large bantam cochin. But a sebright is a true bantam.

Breed. Temperament. Use?

Silkie, / Mellow & calm. / Ornamental

Black Sex Link, / Active, food oriented, friendly. / Dual

Japanese Bantams,/ Skittish if not trained, very loving. / Ornamental

Bantam Cochins, / Maternal, Calm, good pets. / Ornamental/Dual?
Sebrights, / Skittish, Flighty, Active. / Ornamental



I will add more to the list when i have some more time.
