What's Your Favorite Breed of Chicken and Why?

[Namentuppen]

I'm new to chickens and hopeful to have more land someday to get more chickens (chicken math, ha!). What breeds are your favorite and why? Are they a meat, egg-layer, dual-purpose, or ornamental breed? What are your dream breeds?

(If you have a favorite other than chickens (like game birds or ducks) that's fine to say too!)

I don't have a favorite, I love them all.

^i know you disagree but whatever^
ANYWAYS! Cochins are amazing. Super awesome all the way. My best chicken was a Partridge Cochin. Cochins are meat breeds I think, but she was just a pet and egg provider for my family. I have already posted a list of my dream flock, I'll have to go find it and post it here later.

Seramas are my favorite. Though if we're talking egg-laying and meat breeds I'd go with Black Australorps. Cochins aren't that bad either.

So we're in agreement that I should own one of each?

Cochins (bantams) are what I got! Excited to see them grow.

The angles on those Seremas are awesome!

My favourite chicken breed would have to be Brahmas, they are the gentle giants of the chicken world and are just beautiful . Although I don't have any I have heard great things about them, and I have been wanting one for ages!!

I like Russian orloffs and silver and golden lace Wyandotte

Red Jungle fowl . Contrary to some assumptions they can become quite tame . I had some that would take pecans out of my hand, so I trained them to jump up and take them from my mouth . I would hold the nut lightly in my teeth . They would take the nuts without touching my mouth . Yumpin Yickens !
