We had a flock of 120 white rock hen's when I was growing up. The roos were the most horrible birds I ever remember, grandma always processed them as soon as possible.

Temperament is largely inherited in chickens. Aggressive birds tend to produce more aggressive birds. I currently have a respectful, smart boy that doesn't give anybody, even my kids, any trouble.

Try again in a little bit. It worked fine on my computer but I have never tried from a smart phone. The site basically asks you 6 or so questions (cold hardiness, egg color, size, broodiness, if you like rare breeds, temperament, rate of egg laying, etc.) and then it shows you which breeds are a match. From there you can click on each breed and learn more about them. Good luck!

I showed Hubby light Brahma's last night. He likes!!

Dark Brahmas are easier to sex early on. The males and females have very different plumage. Sometimes you have to wait 14 to 16 weeks before you can tell a Light or Buff is male or female.

My first flock had a light Brahma hen and she quickly became my favorite. She was boss hen, talkative, inquisitive and always willing to "help". I would suggest a variety of hens in your first flock. There are too many nice breeds out there and some of my favorite have been breeds I didn't initially consider.
