Wow. Just...wow.:eek:

I'm sooo going to hades for this.:lau
Oh NO! Just NO NO NO! I am dying! And that female is just like "oh lord, just hurry up". haha. How she is so calm with that crazy looking shovel male anatomy poking her, is beyond me! Oh I'm dying.

BTW, got me another new layer today!! This is Blackie the EE. Showed no signs of being about to lay.

OK, so I have been wasting my time (as hubby loves to put it) poring over breeds of chicks that I will get in the spring, as

1.) You can never have enough chickens (obv).
2.) My flock of 14--as you know--really SUCKS at egg laying.

I composed a flow chart comparing different breeds and their unique characteristics. My qualifications are: super friendly, doglike, and sweet, smallish body size (much as I want Faverolles, they are too big with little wienie eggs) and lots of beautiful, delicious eggs (preferably laid before 27+ weeks!)

I have narrowed it down to the following: Sussex, Sex-Link (Star, Comet, ISA Brown, etc.), and Australorp. My one EE has quite a sucky personality and is terrified of me, so that's why I didn't include them.

So, for you experienced chicken people (as I'm still a rank newbie), which do you think is best, and why? Should I just get one of each? I am going to make my next choices more practical and less based on whim and appearance, although I love my useless, yard candy chickens <said tongue in cheek of course, I love them>.

Thanks in advance!! Love yas~

how i wish i had sound :hit
looks hilarious though!!

Oh man, you NEED the sound. It's like, the creepiest thing ever. EVER.

It's on Youtube. Maybe you can pull it up somehow? On your phone or in a public library? It's really a must-see/hear! (thanks again Chickassan for that freaky little horror show I will never be able to erase from my traumatized brain, lol)

I can tell you that I LOVE my australorp. She's like a little dog. As soon as she started laying, and she lays almost every day, she became so friendly and sweet.
My spring want list is LF Cochins. I want Chocolate, and mottled and blue.
