Your Top Five Favorite Breeds!

[JCavallaro40]

1- Mutts. They're just si pretty & unpredictable. Our roo is a top notch gorgeous roo mutt.
2- Americauna. Beautiful eggs.
3. RIR. Great egg production.
4- Marans (blue & black). Again, egg color.
5- Brahmas (preferably buff but any will do). Size!

Also love Barred Rocks, Brown Leg horns, Australorps, Sussex, Orpingtons & any & every chicken in general!!! ♡♡♡♡♡

1- Buff Orpington (very affectionate, love getting attention)
2- Easter Eggers (love that they all look different with varying personalities and the eggs are fun)
3- Barred Rock (my most spunky girls are BR, always the first to investigate and go against the grain)
4- Black Australorp (very calm and beautiful feather colors)
5- Cuckoo Maran (I only have roosters of this breed but so far they have been good roosters, non-aggressive)

Hmm not sure if I posted here previously however here is my list:

1) Salmon Faverolles Personality (laid back, sweet, calm) appearance-poofy beards and muffs-BEAUTIFUL
2) Easter Eggers Personality (Curious, friendly), laying, non broody
3) Orpingtons Personality (Laid back, gentle, quiet) Broody (good moms)
4) Cochins Personality-"little busy bodies", VERY Broody
5) Wyndottes NOTE: there is a BIG difference in these from hatcheries versus breeders. The breeder Wyndottes were sweet, good moms, friendly, whereas the hatchery Wyndottes were sassy, and often the aggressive ones in my flock-towards smaller birds (Chicks or banty)
