High Egg Production
Bantams are small, cute, and come in all different breeds and colors! They are a fun addition to any backyard flock and their small size means they eat less, poop less, and require less space than a standard size chicken. However, it’s best to learn all about raising and caring for these mini chickens before deciding to add them to your backyard flock.
Brown Eggs
Brown egg-laying chickens, like the popular Rhode Island Red and Barred Plymouth Rock, are a favorite among backyard poultry enthusiasts and commercial farmers alike. These breeds are known not just for their rich, brown eggs but also for their hardy nature and amiable personalities. Brown egg layers often boast a gentle temperament, making them a joy to raise, especially for families with children. Whether you're an aspiring urban homesteader or an experienced farmer, these chickens offer a delightful blend of productivity and companionship.
White Eggs
White egg-laying chickens, known for their prolific egg production, are a staple in many backyard coops. Breeds like the Leghorn are particularly admired for their efficiency, often producing up to 280-320 eggs annually. These birds are not only valued for their productivity but also for their relatively low feed consumption, making them an economical choice for small and large-scale egg producers alike. With their sleek white feathers and active demeanor, they adapt well to various environments, from free-range setups to more confined spaces. For those passionate about sustainable farming or just looking to enjoy fresh eggs daily, white egg layers offer a reliable and rewarding experience.
Multi-Colored Eggs
Colored egg layers are fun to have as you never know quite what color of beautiful eggs you will get. These unique breeds, like the Ameraucana, Marans, and Easter Egger, are known for their vibrant egg shells that range from shades of blue and green to deep chocolate brown. Not only do these eggs add a splash of color to your breakfast table, but they also indicate the genetic diversity and health of the hens themselves. Imagine collecting a rainbow of eggs straight from your backyard coop—each egg a delightful surprise. These extraordinary chickens make for lively conversation starters and add a whimsical touch to any homestead. Whether you’re a seasoned chicken keeper or a curious newbie, colorful egg layers will bring joy and variety to your flock.
Large Eggs
If you’re a backyard chicken family looking to maximize your egg production with larger eggs, consider adding breeds like the Australorp, Sussex, or Rhode Island Red to your flock. These hens are known for consistently laying large, delicious eggs that make breakfast a delight and baking a breeze. Not only do these breeds excel in egg size and quantity, but they are also hardy and adaptable, making them ideal for various climates and care levels. Whether you're new to raising chickens or a seasoned pro, these large egg layers will bring both joy and productivity to your backyard flock.
Meat Bird
Raising chickens for meat, also known as broilers, can be an incredibly rewarding experience for backyard farmers. Unlike their egg-laying counterparts, broilers are specifically bred for rapid growth and a higher meat yield. Typically, these chickens reach market weight in just 6-8 weeks. Popular breeds like Cornish Cross and Red Rangers offer different advantages, from faster growth rates to more robust health. Providing them with a well-balanced diet, ample space to roam, and proper care will ensure they thrive and produce tender, flavorful meat. Whether you're interested in sustainable living or simply want to enjoy homegrown poultry, raising meat chickens allows you to take control of your food source and savor the fruits of your labor.
Egg / Meat Bird
Dual-purpose chicken breeds are often referred to as “BBQ Special” chickens which are prized for their versatility in both egg production and meat quality. Breeds such as the Cornish, New Hampshire or Norfolk Grey would be three examples. How great is it to get eggs and then be able to have chicken for dinner? Bon appetit!
Cold Hardy
If you live in a cold climate cold-hardy chickens are your best bet! These resilient birds, like the Buff Orpington and Rhode Island Red, thrive in chilly climates, thanks to their thick plumage and robust health. Not only do they keep laying eggs when temperatures drop (not as quickly mind you), but they're also known for their friendly and docile nature, making them ideal for having as backyard chickens.
Broody
When a hen goes broody, she instinctively wants to sit on eggs and hatch them, which can be a natural way to expand your flock without needing an incubator. Watch out as she becomes aggressive in defending the eggs. It’s fascinating to watch her dedicatedly turn the eggs and cluck softly to them. However, a broody hen can sometimes become territorial and may stop laying new eggs, focusing solely on her current brood. To manage a broody hen, ensure she has a comfortable, safe nesting area and consider separating her from other chickens to reduce stress.
Docile
A docile chicken is one that's calm, friendly, and easy to handle, making it perfect for backyard flocks. These chickens are known for their gentle nature, which makes them great companions for families and novice chicken owners. Breeds like the Buff Orpington, Silkie, and Australorp are renowned for their docile temperament. Not only do they provide a steady supply of fresh eggs, but their easygoing personalities also make them a joy to watch and interact with in your backyard.
Top Picks
These are our top picks for backyard chicken owners. They have the best combination of egg production, temperament, and hardiness to make your backyard chicken-raising adventures thrive.
Small Chickens
Raising small chickens can be a ton of fun for backyard chicken farmers. These miniature cluckers, often referred to as bantams, are perfect for small spaces, offering the charm and productivity of larger breeds without the need for large coops or runs. They're not only easier to handle due to their size, but they also lay adorable, small eggs that are just as delicious. With their vibrant personalities and diverse feather patterns, small chickens add a unique touch to any backyard chicken-raising adventure, making them both a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice.
Large Chickens
Large chickens can be a wonderful addition to your backyard flock! These gentle giants, such as Brahmas and Orpingtons, are known not only for their impressive size but also for their friendly and docile nature. Their larger bodies mean they tend to lay bigger eggs, providing you with a more substantial breakfast. Plus, with their fluffy feathers and calm demeanor, they make great pets for families and can easily become the centerpiece of your chicken coop.
Bantam Breeds
Bantam breeds are perfect for backyard chicken owners looking to add a touch of charm to their flocks. These miniature chickens, which are about half the size of standard breeds, boast a variety of vibrant feather patterns and friendly personalities. Not only do they require less space and feed, but their smaller eggs are also a delightful addition to any breakfast table. Whether you're a seasoned backyard chicken owner or just starting, bantams can provide a unique and rewarding experience.
Rare Breeds
If you're a backyard chicken owner looking to add a unique touch to your flock, consider rare chicken breeds. The Ayam Cemani, known for its striking all-black appearance, not only looks exotic but also carries a mystical allure. Meanwhile, the Swedish Flower Hen offers a burst of color with its naturally vibrant plumage, making your coop look like a living bouquet. And let's not forget the charming Cream Legbar, famous for laying beautiful blue eggs and being incredibly friendly. These rare breeds not only enhance the visual appeal of your backyard but also contribute to the genetic diversity of your flock. Ready to explore more? Discover how these fascinating birds can make your chicken-keeping experience truly extraordinary!
