[QUOTE="sumi, post: 18145783, member: 97969"] [ATTACH type="full"]2987152[/ATTACH] There are a bewildering number of chicken breeds available, each with its own set of qualities and characteristics. Some are great egg layers, some are fair layers, and great table birds. Others are cute lawn ornaments that lays only occasionally. To help especially the new chicken keepers pick the breeds that are best suited to their needs, this week I would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations on chicken breeds for the purpose of egg-laying, table birds, etc. Specifically: - Which breeds are best if you're after getting lots of eggs? - Which breeds make good dual-purpose birds (Fair egg layers that can also be processed for the table)? - Which are the best (non-broiler) breeds for the table? - Which breeds are great with kids (friendly, personable)? - Which breeds need specific conditions, for example, no climate extremes, or not suitable to keep in certain conditions (free-range or confined)?
