What Breed of Chickens Do You Have?

[Titiana]

Right now, we have 14 Mottled Javas. Next month, we will be getting 15 Black Javas, plus 10 (hatchery's choice).

I did a search and your post popped up. Where did you get Black Javas from??? I've been searching but no luck.

Our feed store got fall chicks and I now have 6 blue-laced red Wyandottes and 2 Olive Eggers (going on 3 weeks old). I hadn't originally intended to get more, but I lost almost half of the Sapphire Gems that I ordered this past spring within 24 hours because of the bad treatment they received in the mail. The 6 survivors are beautiful and have started laying, but I wanted more than just 6 hens.

I had a Delaware, but "she" turned out to be a cockerel. I ordered 15 this spring, specifically, I ordered all female...1 Dela, 1 GLW, 3 EE, and 10 from two different "grab bags".

Our breeds vary depending on what research we are doing, but the current breeds we have are:

• Black Jersey Giant
• Delaware
• Barred Plymouth Rock
• White Crested Polish
• Dark Brahma Bantam
• Serama

We also have pullets from a Black Jersey Giant x Delaware cross.

What kinds of research do you typically do? And about how many birds are usually involved? Curious kinds and all that!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

We have:
Easter Eggers,
Black Australorps,
Brown Leghorns,
and our "Others" are Dominiques, just chicks, 8 wk old approx. We ordered 4 pullets and six cockerels. We've not had this breed before. Will not have Leghorns again, I don't think. Prefer a calmer bird.

Besides what I voted above, I have a Sebright, a Cochin, a Welsummer, and a red sexlink.

I love them ALL... except the Sebright, but I only take issue with the fact that he tries to kill me at least 1x/month. Good thing he's good to my girls, and he's tiny....

This is the second time in the past 2 days that I've heard of an aggressive Sebright rooster. I love the looks of them but is this typical for this breed?

We had 300 chooks at one point quite few years ago (heaps of different breeds. And I mean heaps!). Thanks to foxes we are now down to 5 hens and will be looking to get a rooster early next year.

Our hens are 4 ISA Browns and one Australorp x Hampshire who is in my opinion the best chook out of the 5.
