What breeds do you have?

Date sort Score sort
Most of my chickens are just for the eggs so altho they are purebred themselves, they all run together and practice free love. I do keep my silkies pure in breed and color since I show those (at at least used to and will again one day). So, my breeds are:

All Standard
Wyandottes (BLR, GL, SL)
Americauna
Cochin (buff, blue, black, splash)
buff laced Polish
Turken (I know, I know I hear it from DH too)
Phoenix
Black Minorca
Buff Minorca
Partridge Rock
White Leghorn
Black Australorp
Welsummer (she's a mix and MEAN as ....)
Barnevelder (also a mix, not as mean)
15 Welsummer eggs from Mothergoose

Bantams
Buff laced Polish (only have one little hen)
White Silkie
Black Silkie
Cuckoo Silkie



I feel like I'm missing some but maybe not......
 
i have barred plymouth rock, 2 roos 1 hen, 3 california whites and i a rhode island red hen. there were more including welsummers:( but the dogs ate them. i'm getting more chickens though. oh i almost forgot i have three pekins.
 
I think my neighborhood thinks I'm nuts...

2 plymouth rock bantams (Sweet)
3 polish's (Funny)
2 wyandottes one silver and one golden (Egg Layers)

We have barred rocks, Isa browns, EE's, rhode island reds, buff orpington's, and one grey leghorn. Oh, and some stinky meat birds!!
We have chickens for eggs, meat, and plain old fun!
 
3 Barred Rocks
3 Rhode Island Reds
2 Ameracaunas
2 Silver-Laced Wyandottes
2 Speckled Sussex
2 Buff Orps
2 Golden Comets

All supposed to be pullets, but one of my SLWs is a roo and I suspect that one of BRs is, too.

All layers, except for, well, you know, the roos.

See the pressure that I'm under? I have three giant red rooster x dominique. One furry legged old english mix. One buff orp mix and one mystery yellow chick mix. 2 polish silkies 1 blue and one partrige? 3 black silkie maybe sizzle. One barred rock mix. I think that's right...plus all the chickens in my signiture. Soon to be more polish. I really have to get rid of a few to make room for new ones. I need to build on to my coop before they get full grown too!
 
I have

Silkies
white pullet
blue pullet
buff cockerel
partridge cockerel


4 EE's


2 NHR's a couple I think

All of these are for pets, hobbies, to get the kids interested in where their food comes from, and just to be able to yell out my door, "here chickens"
 
38 hens which most are Buff Orpingtons and one Buff Rooster
One Black Austroloup Rooster. The rest being 4 Austrolop (spelling again), 4 Production reds, 3 Barred Rock hens, 1 BR mutt, and 1 Golden Wyndotte mutt

15 Delaware chicks
15 Welsummer chicks
17 Cuckoo Marans chicks

and one Patridge Cochin chick (I think) It was all by itself and DH just couldn't leave it.

I have a handful of breeds - Jersey Giants, RIR, Leghorn, Americana, Sicilian Buttercup, Rosecombs, and Buff Orpingtons.

Then I have a hybrid I have been working on I call REELs. These are green egg laying hybrids. I am getting about 1/3 colored and the rest are white chicks with black flecks. The first generation lay 90% green eggs and those are all I'm incubating. They start laying sooner, are smaller but lay the same size egg, don't go broody as easily. They are what I like to call "more fuel efficient green egg layers" than regular americanas, arucanas, and easter eggers. We'll see what this next generation is going to do but I'm hoping to start selling chicks and fertile eggs on ebay next spring, once I get me website up and running of course. One step at a time.
