What kind of chickens should I get?
Short answer: Golden Comet.
Different breeds are suitable for different needs. Basically, chicken breeds can be divided
into four categories:
•
Cool-looking exhibition birds
•
Prolific egg-layers
•
Meat birds
•
Dual purpose (egg and meat) birds
I recommend steering clear of exhibition birds
for the working flock, although they
can be fun for kids or to have as pets. We have a White Cochin hen with beautiful feathers
