What breeds do you have, that you want to get rid of?

[AlaskGirl]

This is a great thread, good to hear about everyone's experiences since I have so much to learn!

I have recently gotten rid of most of the breeds that I just thought that I had to have but once I
bought them I did not really care for them.
Speckled Sussex, probably will not get any more of these.
Ameraucana..absolutely never again
The Cornish X broilers. I had bought 5 of them just to try out and they made the feed bill
go way up. I got rid of them and the feedbill at the time was cut in half.
I am not too crazy about the bantams but had to raise some here at my place for my mom so
I can't get rid of these.
The Jersey Giants. I had six big hens and a really giant rooster and the eggs were jumbo sized
but all were not daily layers so I let them go.

Thanks, they're my all time favorite, & I've had a LOT of different breeds. They're not an every day layer though.

I have 2 SLW hens (my only 2 chickens) and they are both very quiet. I live in the middle of my small town and don't want noisy chickens. And that means no roo

I don't have enough chickens to want to get rid of any, but then, I just got started at this chicken thing. LOL
and those Yokohamas are gorgeous.............

I got rid of my Welsummer pullets before they even got a chance to lay their first egg. They did not like to be handled and were mean to my other chickens also had a bad habit of plucking out each others feathers. Nasty little things.

I'm selling off all the boring usual layers.

RIR
Buff Orp
SLW
GLW
EE's

Regular chickens hold no interest for me anymore

I'm sticking with Cochins, Silkies, Brahmas and BLRW for now....

 

[Cetawin]

I do not care to have any more RIRs, BOs, Dominiques, SLWs or NHRs. Once they pass on I will not replace those breeds. I have loved my Delawares, Aussies and SFs and EEs but will not replace them either.

I am going strictly, BBS Orpingtons, Cochins, bantam cochin, D'uccles and Silkies for broodies.

I love my two buff orpington girls, but they were the first chicks I had ever raised, too.

I adore my bantam cochin, she loves kids!

I got two red sex-links to upp egg production and they are one of my friendliest breeds

I recently recieved phoenix hatching eggs and I was worried about them being a flighty breed, but they are very lovable! One hen follows me everywhere and if I'm sitting down, MUST be in my lap!

My wish list: Sultans, Dorkings, and standard cochins

I have never regretted any chicken breed I've gotten, I just love being around them all!

I cant stand the OEGB or japs - too little for their great big evil attitude - lol.
Polish - never will get polish after having met my friend's bunch - they are too much maitenance and flighty

I LOVE brahmas - all around awesome bird for me, mille fleur d'uccles - too cute, and silkies - very funny and sweet + all natural brooders
