Cooks Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Well I was sat here thinking about all the types of chickens I would love to have (not saying I am actually going to get them yet though) and thought I would list them, I thought it might be nice if others listed their's and then we can share pictures... soppy??? oh who cares.. I will start! Speckled Sussex (Blame Egluntine) Splash Orp (like Palmer07's 'Gin') or her other Orp Old Speckled Hen, which the name of breed fails me, but she's like a huge speckled sussex! edited to add JUBILEE ORP Amber Star (with plenty of brown on) A Brown Chicken!

Mrs Frugal Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I desperately want a Dorking after seeing some at the Weald and Downland museum a couple of years ago. Such pretty girls and I love that they have 5 toes - real starfish feet!! LSH wants a Wyandotte so that's also on the list. Add to that a Cochin, Buff Orpington, Frizzle, Australorp and a Brahma or two . I'd be such a happy bunny with that little lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 A frizzled pekin, a black pekin cockeral, some Cochins, a blue laced wyandotte, a serema, a sablepoot, a japanese bantam, a....a....a..... Oh, and a HUYUGE area of fox proofed land to keep them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 You must not get any orpingtons!! cos I would be very jealous Jubilees are gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 yes I saw Old Speckled Hen in the flesh (or is that feathers??) and she was to die for!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 A Bluebelle, Lavender Pekin and a Wynadottte. Also some meat birds! Then at least I know the chickens I eat would have had a wonderful life, rather than a supermarket one which could have been free ranging for only short periods. What I really need is a house with a couple of acres for loads of chickens, pigs, sheep etc And above all a lottery win so I can afford it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 A Maran A Cream Legbar A Houdan (conincidently these are all sold by a breeder a few hundred yards from my house ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
