What hens alert the flock of danger, I know that some breeds of hens alert the other hens of danger. I can’t get a rooster because I already have one and I don’t want to have two of them. In case a hawk comes I’d like it not to be just a rooster making alert calls because I will want something...

This is like a game of "Guess The Animal", but with chicken breeds! The rules are:
1. Try to use more common breeds that most people will know. For instance, don't do a White Faced Black Spanish!
2. Only one breed to guess at a time. Once one breed has been guessed then another person can post...

Hello everyone!
Over the years I have found Backyard Chickens to be an extremely helpful recourse and am happy to be joining the community!
My name is Nina and I've been around chickens my whole life. Growing up we had a whole barn for them and a fenced field for them to roam. Later on my...
I noticed something funky looking on my only Cuckoo Marans legs one day and thought it was weird and kinda gross, honestly. I figured I should probably keep an eye on them because it just looked so gnarly. Stupid me, I didn't realize she was growing freaking feathers on her legs!! They looked SO...
Sorry it’s been a long while since I last posted. Let me give you an update on their progress. My chickens are doing great. We used to have 11 chickens but two died. The two that died were Fidget the Silkie and Martha the Faverolle chicken. We had to sell the white cockerel male, which I renamed...

So my story started the day I went to TSC. I went by myself, going to buy 15 Barred Rock chickens. I had done plenty of research on which breed I wanted for eggs. Turns out, Barred Rock Chickens were the best.

I am new to backyard chickens and would be grateful for advice on which breed is best for me. Thanks in advance! I need a chicken that:
- is a great egg producer
- very heat tolerant (I live in the desert with 100F summers or hotter)
- not inclined to fly over a ~6 foot block fence
- very...
