Hello, I have a favorite breed of chicken, the barred rock. Although I love all of my chickens, my barred rock is my favorite! Here is a picture of some of my barred rocks!! Tell me all about yours!
I have 25 birds currently:
amerucana (real ones)
old English game
rhod island
cinnimon queens
cochins
serama
easter egger
polish
blue laced red wyandotte/cartridge cochin
khaki Campbell
plus 25 eggs in the incubator:
silkie
maran/silkie
easter egger
Orpington/easter egger
maran/easter egger
brahama/bresses
cinnimon queens/olive egger
easter egger/olive egger
Cochin/olive egger
I have a Barred Rock too and I love her, even if she does get annoyed when I pick her up. I also have an EE who is a big flier and she can be a real cuddle bug. My RIR is a jerk. It doesn't matter if I'm feeding her or sitting minding my own business, but she likes to hack at my hand. She is my pet and I know a lot of people cull birds like that, but I don't have the heart to send her to the freezer. I had 2 RIRs, but one of them recently passed and she was very sweet - I got lucky, I suppose. Lastly I have a bantam hybrid (in my avatar). She lays teeny eggs but the yolks aren't much different in size, she has fuzzy feet, and is very gentle, but she's horribly skittish and won't let me pick her up - ever.
In conclusion, I think my EE is my favorite.
I like my Columbian rocks best. Super friendly, fight over my lap. But my rooster is a bit big for his britches, but he earned his right to a happy life here with me when he pulled a tail feather out of a hawk to save the hens.
I can't say that I have a favorite either, as I several breeds that I love.
I have:
Ayam Cemani's
Light Brahma's
Barred Plymouth Rocks
Dominique's
Black Sex Links
Red Sex Links
Buff Orpingtons
Easter Eggers
Isa Browns
White Leghorns
Black Australorps
Production Reds
New Hampshire Reds
I love my barred rocks too, for their curiosity in whatever it is you're doing, love my Ameraucanas for their little fluffy beards, love my faverolles for their goofiness (and they look really funny when they run)! Really hard to pick a favorite!
