Choosing the Perfect Chicken Breed

There are different reasons why people raise chickens; it could be for eggs, meat, and exhibitions or for the preservation of the breed. The enjoyment and pleasure in raising chickens and watching their fascinating behavior still persuades people to nurture the breed. There are those who raise chickens for the sheer satisfaction of hearing a rooster crow reminding them of the good old farm days.

Whatever your reasons maybe it is always important to choose the breed of the chicken that suits your need. Choosing might be difficult for beginners and this publication will help you get along with selecting the right chicken breed as well as pertinent information on raising chickens.

Choosing the right breed is not straightforward, for starters a large proportion of the named breeds available are unsuitable, eliminate the obvious, rare breeds can be hard to find and some difficult to manage unless you have skilled training. Then you have the excitable and nervous breeds known as ‘flighty’ these are best left alone if you have other pets or young children.

Your less productive breeds like the Cochin has been bred over the years for the shape, size and feathering for exhibitions, the birds of today have very little resemblance to the ones that turn up in Britain from the far east during 1840.

It is known that this breed sparked the exhibition movement in Britain single-handedly and was an instant success.

Here are a few of the favorite breeds to help you choose, obviously there are hundreds to choose from and your choice will depend on your personal preference.

Leghorns

Leghorns are a pure breed with many hybrid varieties, they are best known as prolific layers, producing around 280 white eggs a year.

Even throughout the winter months, so get that omelet pan ready, however the hens are non-sitters so don’t expect any natural brooding, this you will have to do yourself.

The leghorn originated from Italy, and as with most Mediterranean breeds they are excitable flighty birds, however the bantams are somewhat more docile. They don’t mind being confined but due to their compact bodies they do have the tendency to fly so make sure any fences are at least 2m high otherwise they might just vacate.
