List your chicken breeds here!!

[CassieD]

Hi!
I am trying to collect as many breeds as i can, but downside to this, every time i search, i really don't end up with that many more. If you have chickens, please list what breed they are, and please don't use abbreviations (SS, RIR, EE etc.). I can never understand what they mean.
Thank you!!

Silver Laced Wyandottes (not particularly rare) but by happenstance I also have 2 double laced Barnevelders. They were supposed to be EE. Beautiful chickens though

I just picked up 10 little Aloha chick's today, and I got a 7 month old Aloha cockerel a week ago from a different breeder.

I started out with all purebreds hens - Aracauna, Australorp, Barred Rock, Black Star, Buff Orpington, Columbian Wyandott, Dark Cornish, Frizzle, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Partridge Rock, Pearl White Leghorn, Red Star, Rhode Island Red, Silver Laced Wyandotte - and first a purebred Partridge Rock rooster (best, sweetest rooster I ever had) and then a Leghorn rooster (worst rooster, a total paranoid nut who never ever shut up). After 25 years of crossbreeding for sweet personality, large eggs, and long egg laying, I now have a flock of colorful, gentle, personable layers of huge eggs. I've found that my crossbreeds stay healthier, lay longer, live longer (I have 2 that are going on 15 years) than any of their original purebred ancestors.

Birds I have had/have currently:
Colombian Rocks (very friendly, aggressive rooster though, but he did attack hawks and was overall amazing. I loved him, my family did not)
Easter Eggers
Cuckoo Marans
Black Sapphire Gem
Buff Orpingtons (sooo friendly, they are the best!)
Colored Egg Layer
Light Brown Leghorn (the most skittish and flighty)
Minorca (very smart, good layer, also super pretty)
Cochin Marans cross
Gold and Silver Laced Wyandottes

Overall my favorites have been the Colombian Rocks and Buff Orpingtons. If you like lap sitters these are the breeds for you, they are so easy to tame. All of mine of these breeds have been lap birds, except for the rooster. He wanted to kill anything that wasn’t one of his hens—although he and I did have an understanding (that sometimes needed to be reestablished. But I adored him, he and another hen were my first chickens ever)

If you like pretty I would go with Minorcas, Black Sapphire Gems, and Cochins. I only still have the Cochin Marans mix, but I was freshly amazed each time I saw any of these three. They were stunning.

For egg layers I would go with Leghorns, they are known for laying, also Easter Egger Colombian Rock crosses are excellent layers as well.

I always feel stress about breeds, like, I don’t have the time or space but I want ALL of them!
