Just working on building a coop / yard for my future chickens. The feedstore has a couple of breeds that I found photos of here, but what I would really like is to have chickens like we did growing up. Of course, it has been at least 25 years since those chickens and I have no idea what kind they were!
My pet hen "Copper" was extremely friendly (sit in your lap or beside your chair, ride in a baby doll carriage,etc) - she was black with a "copper" colored collar / necklace (golden specks all through her neck feathers). We didn't have banty's (sp?) but I don't remember her being very big.
Any ideas? Is this maybe a "mutt" of a chicken?
Other than that, I am looking at a couple of Barred Rocks and maybe a couple of Easter Eggers (feedstore labeled them as Ameraucana but I saw somewhere on this site that it probably is EEs?).
Excited and nervous about getting the new babies!
