Common Breeds of Chickens
Whatever you want a chicken for, be it for eggs, a pet, or meat, there are hundreds of breeds to choose from. From beautiful exotics to excellent egg layers, with both good and bad dispositions, choosing a chicken for your backyard flock can seem difficult.
Top Egg Laying Breeds
Every chicken lays eggs, but not all will lay every day until they're four years old. The trade-off with good egg layers is that they usually do not like to sit, so fertilizing and hatching may not be possible without an incubator.
Check out DIY Chicken Coops if you are thinking about contructing your own hen house.
These are the top layers for white eggs:
Ancona – Nervous Disposition, Wild
Andulasian – Flighty, can be nervous
catalina – shy, nervous
Hamburg – Nervous, shy
Holland – Good disposition, Friendly
Lakenvelder – Beautiful breed, nervous
Leghorn – Noisy, nervous, shy
Minorca – Moderate disposition, can be friendly but considered nervous
Redcap – Wild, poor disposition
The top brown egg layers are:
Australorp – Good disposition, friendly
Java – Friendly, Exotic
naked Neck Turkin – Good disposition
Plymouth Rock - Good disposition, friendly, docile
Rhode Island – Aggressive
Delaware – Good disposition
Dominique – Good egg production and personality, will also brood.
Sussex – Good disposition, friendly
Wyandotte – A favorite egg layer because of their friendliness.
The Best Meat Breeds of Chickens
The primary goal with meat production are hens that put on a good bit of weight in the first 16 weeks of life. Personality traits usually take a back seat since these chickens are not normally kept as long as egg layers. Good meat producers are:
Cornish - Poor egg layers, thin-feathered and must be protected from cold
Cornish Cross – fast-growth hybrid prone to heart attacks and broken legs
Some breeds are considered good dual-purpose birds with a balance of egg laying and growth. These breeds will generally lay 4-5 eggs per week.
Araucana
Australorp
Barnevelder
Delaware
Dominique
Dorking
Holland
Hungarian Yellow
Orpington
Plymouth Rock
Wyandotte
Brahma – Very nice to look at, though not a top layer this chicken lays a respectable amount of eggs and makes a great pet, too.
Buckeye – a heritage breed
Catalina – A dual purpose bird that is also a top layer.
Whether your intention is egg laying or meat, the variety of breed options can be daunting.
Pet or Ornamental Breeds
If you intend to spend time with your hens, then disposition is important. Aggressive birds can make egg collecting a challenge. If children will be involved, breed disposition is even more important.
Often, Silkies are at the top of people’s list of best breeds as pets. They must be kept warm and dry. Their feathers are more like fur than feathers, really. These feathers instantly absorb any water they're exposed to.
These are small, Bantam hens that have a very good disposition to go with their looks. They don’t tolerate children well and will even allow them to carry them around. This tiny docile chicken will both lay eggs and tend the nest. The eggs are as good to eat as any chicken egg, are about 1/3 the size of one standard egg.
Other ornamental breeds include:
Phoenix – Very long tail feathers that require special roosting conditions – very beautiful
Yokohama – another long tailed breed
Sultan – Has a “hat” of upright feathers – fluffy and fancy
Sizzle or Frizzle – These hens have curly or wavy feathers and look like they have been through a windstorm.
Showgirls – These hens have fluffy feathers on their body and the top of their head but a bare neck.
Serama – A tiny perfect miniature chicken. Proud upright stance in a 2-3 pond package. Very good disposition.
Cochin – Both standard and Bantam Cochins are considered ornamental, but they are fair egg layers. They are very docile and beautiful with full long feathering and a waterfall type tail. Their feathers make them look twice as big as they actually are. The feathers go all the way down to their toes
.
It's very important that you research the various breeds and consider which will fit your needs best.
