What Breed of Chickens Do You Have?

[ecn1942]

Hey everyone! Thought I would do a poll to see what breed is most popular.

We've had Australorps, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Reds, and Buff Orpingtons. They've all been great layers, but our hands-down favorites are the Orpingtons. Why? Their friendly and inquisitive personalities, hardiness and ability to deal with harsh winters, the excellent quality of their jumbo-sized, delicious eggs, and, best of all, they are beauties--My Golden Girls--Dotty, Blanch, Rosie, and Sofia!

Welcome!
We all have favorites, and sometimes it changes over time. It's fun to try more breeds and see who 'rises to the top'!

We have one white lohman and 4 hedemoras(swedish breed). We have had many breeds during the years and many mixed hens. The last 5 years we have had only white lohman.

We decided that we should start with one breed, a breed that gets broody and take care of their babies.... So we landed on hedemora , the most local breed for us living in Norway, not far from Hedemora in Sweden.
