[QUOTE="Teila, post: 18147592, member: 204511"] Gees .. egg questions again? A subject about which my flock of freeloaders and consequently myself, apparently are going to remain in the dark [IMG]https://www.backyardchickens.com/styles/byc-smilies/wink.png[/IMG] [B]Which breeds are best if your’re after getting lots of eggs[/B]? Not sure .. whatever breed lays those free range eggs sold at the grocery store. [B]Which breeds make good dual purpose birds (Fair egg layers that can also be processed for the table)?[/B] Eggs? See above. Table? The only table you are likely to find my gals on is a picnic table, helping themselves to lunch. [B]Which breeds are great with kids?[/B] While we do not have any little ones around the place, I can say that my flock of Pekins [bantam Cochins], Pekin X’s and one bantam Langshan are pretty laid back and friendly .. probably because they have no idea what [I]real[/I] chickens do! [B]Climate extremes?[/B] Oooh, that one we do know a little about. Touch wood, I have not lost anyone to heat stress but have come close. Funnily enough, my two black girls (Pekin and Langshan) tolerate the heat better than the buffs (Pekin and Pekin X Silky). The frizzled Pekin struggles a little in summer also. [/QUOTE]
