Take this quiz I made and find out! Be sure to keep track of your answers, and tell us what you got up top in the poll.
*Note* Obviously this is NOT all the breeds. Just a few.
1. Henrietta is in your favorite nest box. What do you do?
a) Scream and throw a fit
b) Wait patiently until she gets out
c) Sit on top of her and squash her until she gets out
d) Go in the other nest box- pick from the other 15
e) What?! My babies are in there! Gerroff! NOW!
2. Let's say that you're lead hen (guys, say that you're, um, top rooster). How did you become so?
a) They all love my hair
b) I'm a natural leader
c) My size intimidates everyone
d) Everyone else is a bantam, so it's easy *sort of* for me to take power.
e) Lead hen? Who wants to be lead hen? I need to spend quality time with my eggs!
3. Hooray! The humans are here with big bowls of treats. What is your favorite?
a) Something that doesn't get my hairdo mussed
b) Anything goes, really
c) Something with a lot of nutrients! Must... get... bigger
d) Watermelon. End of story
e) Something to-go, please. I need to get back to the nest.
4. Where is your favorite spot to dust bathe?
a) Under that *lovely* rosebush
b) Wherever everyone else is
c) On top of someone else- they MUST have the best spot, and as soon as I sit on them, they'll move
d) Anywhere, as long as I have a buddy
e) In the shavings under my nest. I can't leave the nest!!!
5. Are you an indoor or outdoor chicken, and why?
a) Either one, but I prefer indoor, because then I get lots of baths
b) Outdoor- lots of bugs
c) Outdoor, I'm too big to go indoors
d) Um... I dunno.
e) Indoor, because I'm always inside the nest box anyway, and indoors is a better environment for my eggs!
RESULTS
mostly a's) You're a Polish! You're a bit of a diva, with a lovely hairdo.
mostly b's) mean you're a Barred Rock! You're easygoing and cheerful.
mostly c's) piont to an Orpington! You're big and don't hesitate to use your size. You're generally calm, but when you want something... Ho boy!
mostly d's) say that you are an EE. (Yes, I know, technically it is not a breed.) You might not be of the finest stock, but you are adaptable and lay very pretty eggs. Chances are, you're very pretty as well!
mostly e's If you got mostly e's, then you're a Silkie! You love to brood, and though you are small you can be dangerous if someone threatens your nest!
If you got one of each or if two breeds were tied then you're a barnyard cross. There's no predicting you! You're interesting and don't let your scrambled heritage get in your way. (Sorry, I forgot to add "barnyard cross" to the poll, so just tell us, OK?)
