What Breeds Are Most Common With BYC Members

If you don't see your breed listed here, list it in the comments and it will be added!

I don't see New Hampshire Reds on the list. I have them and I like them a lot. I also have Delawares but I think I got a bad batch. They are 4 years old and only 4 of the original 8 are still alive. But the 8 New Hampshire Reds (well 7, one turned out to be a sexing mistake and a very aggressive rooster) are doing great. I have had New Hampshire Reds before and will probably get them again. I especially like the appearance of New Hampshire Reds and Rhode Island Reds together; the two different shades of red make for a colorful flock, but I doubt that I'll get Delawares again.

Hey, look! Orps are winning. What a surprise.

It only lets me select eight options, but I have had more than eight of the breeds on that list.

How did you find OEGB? I'm really loving the breed.

Lovely birds. Not the cold-hardiest, but well worth the hassle of bringing them indoors for a handful of days each winter. I quite enjoy their personalities.

 

[The Happster]

I'm really thinking of getting some. I love seeing everyone else's. It'll have to be once my current chicken population has decreased a bit. Those Orps are stompy.

I love crele. I'd probably get a few different colour variants.
I hear they're pretty broody birds.

They're ridiculously broody. I have a crele cockerel right now and he's a favourite of mine, for sure.

Can you add a Silver Spangled Hamburg?

Uh, I'm sorry for derailing this thread, but I need someone to reply to a thread of mine. A chicken that I have's toe is bleeding when I tried to clip her nails. Does anyone know what to do?
