OPINIONS....Which breeds are the most attractive?????????

[Layin Eggs]

Trying to establish my flock. I want some for egg production and others for beauty. Which Hens? Which Roo's? I have seen some gorgeous roos with the colorful tail feathers, but don't know what breeds they were.

By the way I am looking for standard size. Thanks

all opinions welcomed!

to be honest i think sebright (SP?) or partridge rocks!!

wow, those are beauties but iI forgot to mention I was looking for standard size. Edited my original post. TY tho

sebrights are bantams and terrible layers. mine isnt very good. brahmas are ok, but leghorns are awesome! sussex are just as good as rirs, but prettier.

That is such a subjective question! I can't answer for someone else, only for myself. For example, I do NOT like the look of Silkies at all. Many here adore them, but I don't see the attraction. It's just a personal preference.

Glad you asked......hands down the winner is a Light Brahma...they are the magestic one you know? Mine are great layers and pleasing to look at, not to mention the great attitudes they have!

I second Brahmas

And Polish are lovely, in my opinion. But like SpeckledHen said, it's so subjective, and everyone seems to like something different. There's a certain chicken out there that gives me the creeps, and I don't plan on them joining my flock

My Brahma's lay decently too. Cochins have such beautiful "bloomers" though I've heard they aren't the best laying hens-but good Broody's...I have 5 blue and 5 buff Cochins coming in March

Ooh, and Salmon Favorelle's-Gorgeous birds!
