Re: [CHICKENS-101] chicken poll

a) Turkens, Austrolorp, Dominique, Black Star, some mutts, EE Bantams,Jap Bantams, Silkies, Polish,Seramas. At the moment. I've had LOTS of breeds over the years.

b) Eggs/pets, breeding

c) Delaware

d) Turkens - cause I love the look. They are also good layers, and can deal with temp changes. Black Star's were my first chicks, I still have 1 hen left. Silkies ,Polish, Jap Bantams, and Seramas cause of the look and for breeding.

I do a lot of research on breeds I see in catalogs, shows, that sorta thing and then decided what is going to work for me. I have a preference for the "different". It's a lot of fun trying to explain a Turken to one who has never seen one before. "Is that a turkey? Is that bird sick?" LOL! Because there are 2 business's on the property we have people here that have never seen a chicken other than from the grocery.

Ordering the mystery mix is also a good way to experience new breeds.

DH and I have talked into long evenings about different types of chickens and what would be best for us. what I would like to know for you is: a.) what kind of chickens do you have? b.) do you keep them for meat? eggs? both? strictly entertainment? c.) where do you live (what state, province, country)? d.) why did you chose this type chicken?

thanks for sharing
