What Is Your Favourite Chicken Breed?
What is your favourite chicken breed?
Chickens and hens are kept for many reasons:
- They lay eggs.
- Provide meat.
- As pets.
- For company.
- Their plummage.
- Their disposition and character.
My favourite breed is the leghorn as I kept a white leghorn for 5 years. She was called Hatty and she had a brilliant personality. She ruled the roost over the guinea fowl, cats and me! She laid white eggs which were delicious.
I recently asked what is your favourite chicken breed on twitter and I got a good response:
- White Leghorn
- Polands
