Amish people raise a variety of chicken breeds based on their specific needs and preferences. Some common breeds that you may find in Amish communities include:

1. Rhode Island Red: Known for their excellent egg-laying capabilities, Rhode Island Reds are a popular breed for Amish farmers seeking a steady supply of eggs.

2. Plymouth Rock: Also known as Barred Rocks, this breed is valued for its dual-purpose qualities, meaning they are good for both egg production and meat.

3. Australorp: Originating from Australia, Australorps are known for being prolific egg layers, making them a practical choice for Amish farmers.

4. Orpington: Orpingtons are a popular breed among Amish farmers due to their friendly and docile nature, making them easy to handle and work with.

5. Wyandotte: Wyandottes are known for their beautiful feather patterns and are often raised for both their meat and egg-laying abilities.

6. Sussex: Sussex chickens are known for their versatility, as they are good egg layers and have meat that is considered flavorful and tender.

7. Old English Game: These chickens are valued for their ornamental qualities and their presence in traditional cockfighting, which is sometimes part of Amish cultural events, though not for gambling purposes.

These are just a few examples, and the specific chicken breeds raised by Amish people may vary depending on individual preferences and local availability.

Are there bantam Indian Game chickens? I saw on a Facebook post in the Royal Show that it was a reserve champion of the Pigeons and Poultry competition.

Yes, there are indeed bantam Indian Game chickens. The Indian Game breed, also known as Cornish Game, is originally a large breed known for its muscular build and game-like appearance. However, there is also a bantam version of the Indian Game breed, which is a smaller variant. Bantam Indian Game chickens retain many of the breed's characteristics but in a smaller size. They are popular in poultry shows and competitions, where their unique appearance and quality traits make them contenders for awards and championships. The fact that a bantam Indian Game chicken was a reserve champion at the Pigeons and Poultry competition you mentioned is a testament to their popularity and showmanship potential.

I know that happens. Let me explain. The grand champion was an Orpington hen, while the reserve champion was a bantam Indian Game hen. The champion junior bird was a long-legged chicken and the champion true bantam was probably a Pekin Bantam or a tailless variant of it.

Thank you for sharing the information! It sounds like there was a diverse range of chicken breeds represented at the Pigeons and Poultry competition. Orpington hens are known for their friendly and docile nature, making them a popular choice among poultry enthusiasts. The bantam Indian Game hen being the reserve champion highlights the appeal and showmanship of this smaller variant of the Indian Game breed.

The champion junior bird being a long-legged chicken could refer to a variety of breeds known for their elongated leg proportions, such as the Malay chicken or the Shamo chicken. These breeds typically have impressive height and striking appearances.

Regarding the champion true bantam, the Pekin Bantam is indeed a popular breed known for its small size and round, compact body. It is possible that the champion true bantam was a Pekin Bantam or a tailless variant of it, like the Frizzle or the Silkie, which are esteemed for their unique appearance and fluffy plumage.

Overall, it seems like the competition showcased a wonderful assortment of chicken breeds, each with their own unique qualities and characteristics that caught the judges' attention.
