Official BYC Poll: Which of These White Chicken Breeds Do You Have?

[Lady Clucks-a-Lot]

I never clipped Chipotle's wings because she was smart enough to fly back in (unique among my birds). But she just went out on the lawn, never to the neighbors'.

She did fly back, too, but the biggest problem was that she started bringing our entire flock over

‘Tila is doing just fine! We’ve gotten down to -26F outside (+3F in the coop, using two Sweeter Heater units above the roost). Temps have been staying +10F to -15F. She gives us an egg 5-6 days a week. No sign of frostbite. She’s active and happy. We do keep our flock confined to the coop on days when the temperature is <10F, they have a covered and “shower curtained” run open to them when the temp is >10F. We have three Easter Eggers, a dark Brahma, a black copper Marans, a Welsummer, a Faverolles, and a porcelain Sabelpoot roo. ‘Tila usually roosts on the end at night, we don’t see her trying to snuggle in to stay warm. I’ll run out and take a quick snapshot of her…it’s 5.30pm here now and they’ve gone to bed.
While your mileage may vary, we’ve been very pleased with our silkie dealing with the frigid temps and being a part of a flock of standard sized birds.

Good to know- thank you. I will need to take silkies into consideration.

Wow I just realized I dont have any pure white chickens right now. I had a white silky that died a few months ago, and some other pure white birds in the past. Right now I have a light Brahma and two splash ameraucanas. I also have a white pigeon but that doesn't count.
