This is like a game of "Guess The Animal", but with chicken breeds! The rules are:

I'm in love with the tiny chickens - the ones I've seen are usually black and white. But I don't know what breed they are and I would love to know. Also, I'm assuming there's multiple breeds like this. What are these chickens called?

Hi Forum members;

I'd love to know the breed if possible. Any thoughts here?
Hi all,
I live in southern Ontario, and this year is looking to be BAD for ticks and biting insects. I'm wondering about chickens for insect control (so, good foragers, I guess?). As well, they would need to be cold- reasonably heat-tolerant.
Thanks in advance!
