    Favorite breed? (Relatively Quiet and Chill)

    I'm curious what everyone's favorite breed is. I'm looking for a couple chill, friendly, quiet birds (I know, I know, no breed is quiet) who do well in confinement but also will be happy to free range the backyard when they get the chance. I live in a neighborhood with close neighbors. The...

    Only able to get 5 Chickens - help me pick breeds!

    Hi everyone! I'm new to BYC, but I have experience from 20 years ago raising my own chickens from when I was a kid. So I'm kind of a newbie (again) but already know some things about caring for chickens. Here's my situation: I live in a small town that passed a new ordinance to allow residents...

    Which breed had a non aggressive rooster?

    We currently have golden comet laying hens and almost laying ameraucana hens. We were given an ameraucana, silky, and two laced wyandottes roosters from someone that bought chicks and ended up with the roosters but only wanted hens. No issues have occurred yet but we only got them last night...

    Good Afternoon 🐓 One of the 4 chicks we purchased from a farm store June 18th turned out to be a roo so, we need to re-home him since we live inside City limits (roosters are not allowed). We call him "Glen", he's a bit over 2 months old, and is a Sapphire Blue (Gem) Plymouth Rock. Glen is...

    Has anyone crossed Andalusian & 55 flower hen?

    So many times breeds are made for egg color or feathers, not so much any more for temperament and friendliness. I know people are exhausted by their orphingtons being bullied. But birds that kids and teens can easily handle would be nicer than colorful 🪶 🪶 feathers that show well. A chicken...

    Any ideas on the breed?

    I’ve had this cute little bantam hen for over a year now and I absolutely love her. I got her from another chicken owner when she was already full grown and laying so she is at least 2 years old. She weighs on average 1.3 lbs and lays off white eggs averaging around 31g on a somewhat irregular...

    Cuddly Breeds?

    My 4 year old is looking for a couple pets! He wants the “climb on your lap and cuddle” type. I’m not too worried about poor production - Just want to make the little boy happy. What do you suggest? I was thinking maybe Millie Fleur D’Uccles?

    To Rooster or not to Rooster?

    Hi :frow I'm relatively new to chicken raising and have a few questions. I'll apologize in advance if they are redundant= SORRY! I've tried searching the threads here and on Google but can't seem to find a consistent answer. We got 6 hens last fall and allowed them to free range. Something...

    Rooster breed advice pls

    I raised chickens with a guard goose some 10-12 years ago & I’m planning to start raising chickens again in a year or so. Since I will again utilize a guard goose, I do not need a protective rooster, so I can hopefully get a friendly dual purpose breed. For my 6-8 hens I plan to have: Rhode...

    Hen keeps getting bullied! Help!

    Hi all! I have a Golden Laced Wynadotte hen that has been being bullied by my other hens (Buff Brahma, Barred Plymouth Rock, Lavender Orpington and a Partridge Olive Egger) They have been pecking at her feet until it draws blood and she is limping heavily. They also sometimes grab at her neck...

    How to make chickens more cuddly?

    I am new to owning chickens, ours were born this past April (27 to be exact). So they are fairly young. They all let me hold them, some more happily than others, but only one will lay on me like this, and not for long. I would like to get them to like being held more, or be more friendly and...

    The black Australorp is a very friendly breed of chicken and is good with children....all people really. It is a quieter breed and is great for a place with a big neighborhood. Buuuut, I'm not sure about roosters, I think THEY are still loud. Any questions about Black Australorps? Please ask...

    Jersey Giant chicks

    I have 3 chicks that are about 1 week old. I got Jersey Giants because of their docile and friendly demeanor. The chicks are so skiddish and frightened all the time. Not what I was used to with my Wyandottes and New Hampshires. Is this normal? Really worried I have made the wrong decision.
