RachaelS, what breed is your chick?

 

[RachaelS]

They are Barnevelders. Took me two years to finally pick one breed and that is what I went with

 

[rsf31tmp]

looks cute...I have heard good things about that breed.

Why did you pick them?

 

[RachaelS]

The most important reason is because they are friendly, even the roosters (I have two kids). After that, it was because they are quite, they lay brown eggs, have a high egg production, are dual purpose (can be eaten) and can get broody (I don’t always want to hatch the eggs). Finally, they are pretty with a unique feather pattern. So they pretty much fit the bill for all of my “wants”.
