I want to find out what everybody has to see the most popular breeds. Also specify variety. I am doing this because it seems like there are all the same type.
I currently have 2 isa browns/reds for sure and a mix im unsure of. Have a hen and cockrel that have this same coloring
The isa's and the hen that looks like the pictured cockrel lay everyday still. They aren't a year old yet. So it really depends on what you want them for. Some are bread to lay like crazy but die early because of it. Some are meaty for butchering purposes and some are for longevity. Some are better for colder climates... There are alot of varieties it's really your intention for them that matters.
I have a buff Orpington, light Brahma, silkies, Easter eggers, Polish, and a mystery hen. Looking to maybe getting some black australorps or some more productive breed but maybe even a darker egg layer like a maran. Also maybe a long tailed samatra and yokohamas for breeding purposes.
