by Kathy Shea Mormino, The Chicken Chick
When assembling a new flock of chickens, the enormous array of breeds available to choose from can be intimidating, but it’s important to make an informed decision in order to avoid disappointment for the chicken keeper as well as unnecessary challenges for the chickens. Some breeds do not fare well in certain climates, some are not a good choice for young children, some produce fewer eggs than others, etc. So, where to begin? Below are some of the basic factors to consider in selecting an egg-laying breed. After the basics are established, the field of suitable breeds becomes much smaller and making choices becomes a much less daunting undertaking.
1. Climate
Some breeds cope better with cold and snow than others, (referred to as cold hardy) and some fare better in very warm climates (referred to as heat tolerant). As a general rule, heavier heavier breeds such as Cochins and Marans, fare better in colder climates than lighter breeds, such as Egyptian Fayoumis, which withstand the heat much better than heavy breeds. This is not to say that a heavy breed cannot live in a warm climate and a light breed cannot live in a cold climate, but seasonal accommodations would need to be made for birds better suited for a different climate.
2. Temperament
While each chicken is an individual with its own unique personality, generalizations can be made about breeds in much the same way as in dog breeds. If a household has small children where a docile, friendly dog is preferred, a feisty Chihuahuais likely not the best choice; likewise, a Hamburg would not be a good choice of breed of chicken in that case. Chickens are often characterized as being docile, flighty, calm, friendly and bearing confinement well or not.
3. Egg Production Rate
The rate of production can also be generalized by breed. Some breeds are known for being prolific egg layers, producing 4 or more eggs per week, (Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Hamburgs) while others lay less frequently (eg: Silkies and Seabrights). If a family of eight relies upon the eggs collected from the backyard flock, Silkies are likely not the right choice. My Silkie didn’t start laying eggs until she was 14 months old and averages five eggs per month. (she’s an extreme example, however)
4. Egg Color
Each chicken produces a different egg color based upon genetics. For some people, a colorful array of eggs is an important factor in breed selection, others, not so much. There are blue, green, dark chocolate brown, white and every hue in between to choose from. My neighbor insists on having a white egg-laying breed in her flock for the sole purpose of coloring eggs at Easter, while I prefer breeds that will produce fabulously colored eggs every day.
5. Broodiness
Some breeds are predisposed to hatching eggs more frequently than others. If a high rate of egg production is important, a broody breed such as Silkie or Cochin is not a good choice. If one wishes to have hens hatch and raise chicks, broodiness is very important and either Silkies or Cochins are excellent choices.

The Breed I Need
After the five primary considerations are taken into account, the selection process is fun and easy. When I chose my first dozen girls, I used the Breed Selector Tool at My Pet Chicken. Answering a few questions produces a photo gallery and detailed description of the breeds that fit those specifications. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

OMG, I’m so excited! Thank you soooo much! My babies are just two days old, this is so wonderful.
Congratulations Tammy!
I already follow you on FB… I’m hoping to add more buff orpingtons, silver-laced wyandotts & a variety of the Polish breeds to my flock this year 🙂

I would love to have the Ameraucanas to go with my flock.
I have had many breeds of chickens but my all time favorites as pets are bantam or full size (which is really 3/4 size) rumpless Araucaunas – they are good layers, sweet natured, smarter than most hens and some will be broody but not too broody (don’t need broody-breaking!). Right now I would like a few sex links and would like to try Appenzeller Spitzhaubens since I’ve never had any of them – I have an interest in crested Dutch breeds too. Current flock includes Dominiques, RIRs, 2 Basques who are beautiful, 4 Easter Eggers, 2 unknown breed bantams and a Brabanter. Oh, and of course my Old English Wheaten Bantam Rooster Fritz!! For this year I would like also to try Speckled Sussex which I’ve had in the past. Francesca Austin – Oakland, CA

We always do well with RIR’s; but we’ve never had blue egg layers before!!

I really want showgirls. I know they are kind of pointless, but I have my egg layers, I have my show birds, I want fluffy balls with naked necks!
Jennifermorrill at art dot net
I will be getting my first chicks in a couple of weeks. Would love to have Orpingtons!
Unique and hardy, I need some Faverolles 🙂
I totally need a frizzled Cochin. According to my chicken math calculations, a few dozen should suffice.
I NEED black copper marans!
I need a Barred Plymouth Rock and an Australorp – I will have a small urban coop and I need friendly hens who will do well with my granddaughter. Karen – at ned5clark@gmail.com– I am so glad I stumbled upon you last week. You have been a wealth of knowledge for this chicken newbie!
My little guy says we need any of them with the big hairdoo
mmcarter67@gmail.com
I am interested in some Frizzles, actually have some fertile eggs ordered. Thanks for all your info!!!Love the warmer for my brooder!!!
I want Australorps!
Anconas and Marans. Both beautiful birds and nice layers. <3
I’ve got a pretty good flock started but would love to add some Rhode Island Reds or Red Stars. They’d love the EcoGlow I’m sure!
Still need Marans. I’ve tried for the past 3 years in a row but missed every deadline. And because they’re just such awesome girls, I need to get more white Leghorns. <3
White Silkie Bantarns
Silkies, polish or frizzles of course. 🙂
I would love some more Russian Orloffs! Cynthia Wickliffe. cyanne@gmail.com
I feel the need for some Blue Orpingtons and Blue Copper Marans!! And when i win the EcoGlo Brooder, we shall be all set!!
I would love to have black Australorps and blue americaunas. Years ago, I had a hen that looked like an overgrown raven. Her feathers were black, but shimmered every color of the rainbow. I have no clue what breed she was and have never seen another like her.
I NEED some more Barred Plymouth Rocks, Golden Laced Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, Welsummers, Silver Cuckoo Marans and Blue Andalusians. I’d love to try the Blue Ameraucanas too!

Hi Kathy! I NEED a frizzle! So cute & fun!
I would love some more Austrolops. We have one girl is she is always the first to come and see me in the morning. Her personality is what I love the most about her and that makes our flock seem so much more enjoyable.
Blue Orphingtons would be on the list also. These have a place in my son’s heart. He can hardly carry one of the girls, but they dont mind him at all. We have buff, so some blues would add to our rainbow.
I would like more speckled sussex. They have such great personalities. I also like the Australorps because they look so queenly and mine are. The EE’s because they are very friendly. All are cold hardy, good layers,forage,are not flighty,not broody(mine anyways)Just love these breeds and would want more of them. poochs@hotmail.com
I need blue copper and blue splash marans. I’d love to win an ecoglow on my birthday!
I would live some Miller Fleur d’Uccle bantams …. gorgeous!
Would fit in well with my RIR bantams and mottled Belgian.
Wyandottes Please!!!! cold hardy pretty egg layer. 🙂
there were 11 breeds that came up for me. I like the larger egg layers and not so much the mediums so of the choice of RRR and Easteregger, I’ll take the easteregger. I have production reds now (RRR and NHR mis) and woul d love blue eggs.
I’d go for the Assorted Brown egg layers. But I’ve already ordered Barred Plymouth Rocks & a few Rhode Island Reds. Oh, and also some Cornish Crosses & Red Rangers.
I need (and have) Silkies and bantam frizzle Cochins. I have those and Serama chicks right now. I went overboard on the incubation. 🙂
I would love to add some Legbars and Faverolles to my flock this year. Looking forward to more great posts here! cloverfieldfarmshipping@hotmail.com
I want Hamburgs or Ameraucanas!

I think I might have already said this, but I am really looking forward to getting some Easter Eggers sometime in the future. Currently we have RI Reds, RI Whites, ISA’s and ONE Silkie (she is my favorite and will also be getting more of those in the future as well). Thanks again for everything you share. Your site is quickly becoming one of my favorites. =)
I would love some Partridge Silkies! We have black, blue, splash, white and buff and love them all. Silkies are the best sitters too!

I would probably kill for a Gold-Laced Orpington or a Lemon Blue Orpington. Or, a LF Frizzled Cochin.
Maran and a silkie
Just getting started and would like Easter Eggers, Marans, Silkie and Black Cochin Frissle.

Since I live in the south and it gets really hot, the heat tolerant breeds would be best:) And I don’t know if i want any broody chickens but hope to one day hatch some eggs, so I guess I need the Eco glow!

I want a variety! I’d especially like a couple of white leghorns, for the eggs (I do pysanky with the shells!) and the eating of the eggs, of course, but also wheaten ameracauna for the shells, again! And I’d love a mottled houdan, I had a little roo once, who was the sweetest bird EVER, but a Silver-laced wyandotte cockerel bullied him to death before I figured out she was a he. SIgh… ANd there are MANY MANY more than I WANT!!!!!!
I would love some splash orphingtons. We have a blue couple and they are so sweet. Would love some splash:) ConniePrice0402@gmail.com

I love all the chickens.. they each have their own personalities and temperments.. but they are truly one of God’s beautiful creatures. We have Plymouth Barred Rock hens.. and a rooster that is mixed that was given to us by a neighbor. She thought it was a hen that her other rooster was picking on – SURPRISE 🙂 I have been gathering eggs and have them in my incubator now.. I can’t wait for the babies to arrive.. we will love them as we do our others THOSE will be the breed I NEED (: … now… if I only had a brooder..

I need bbs orphingtons! 😀
Copper Marans is what I’d like.
I’m hoping to get a variety of chicks in April, one of which will be a Welsummer. I do intend to get one of these brooders one way or the other. winning one would be great!
Marans & Buffies please.
I need some Ameraucanas and/or Brahmas. Any color, no preference. We only have 5 hens to our 1 rooster, he could use some more girls 🙂
I’d love to have some Cochins ! Though…I love all of the breeds! LOL

cindy@harkins.net
Believe it or not I need a Rhode Island Red. I plan on adding a couple next year.
lisa.samples at gmail.com thanks
You really are making this hard. Deciding which breed is about like choosing which dessert to eat. At present I have been looking for some Delawares. Though I do need a Dominique Roo for some hens (mine was killed.) Then I’ve been drooling over the Lavender Orphingtons, but they are kinda rare, not to mention expensive. Decisions, Decisions. Oh, and a Frizzle for fun.
I would like the Dominiques but so hard to narrow the “want” list. Thanks for having the giveaway! Sharon P
I would love some Jersey Giants!
I need the Easter Egger Bantam! I just love the colored eggs, and their temperment is perfect for us, plus they do well in our climate. (And I could really use the brooder–I hatch eggs every spring in my classroom. It is the highlight of the year for my students. And I use a Brinsea incubator.)

I have a large variety of chickens, but do not have a hen that “goes brody”. I end up purchacing chicks every year and raising them inside until they are old enough to be integrated into the flock. I would love or NEED a silkie like Freida to care for chicks and sit on eggs. I just love your updates with pictures of her being a wonderful mom to the eggs/chicks.
I follow you on facebook and I would love to add Black Copper Marans and Silver Laced Wyandottes to my flock.

I would love to add Black Copper Marans to my flock. I need some dark brown eggs and olive eggs to complete help my colorful egg basket prettier.
I am looking to get my first chickens. I am a veteran that has been finishing up on my chicken coop and it should be completed by March 12. It was started on March 1. I wanted it comfortable and secure. If I was to win this contest I would really like to have some Silkie Bantams (females). I can honestly say I spent about 3-4 weeks just reading on chickens and checking with the wife to see if it was alright. I even checked on local city code as well. I’ve raised animals (fish, canaries, dogs, and cats) all my life and enjoy having them. The chickens I would take good care of. My email account is jterhoeve@sbcglobal.net. Thank you for the consideration. I enjoyed reading your article.
I would love any hen that came my way. I found the Favaucana with Breed Selector Tool at My Pet Chicken.
grbacus@yahoo.com
I would eventually like to get a good strain of Double Laced Barnevelder, maybe with a blue strain. I would also love to have Cream Legbars. I have Marans in the incubator now with some Olive Eggers. Having the Brinsea brooder light would make the transition so much easier. We use a Brinsea Mini Advanced now.

Judy O’Hara, from Judy’s Chicken Ranch, I would LOVE some D’Uccles
I love the dark brown eggs of the Marans…so the Black Copper Marans is what I like. I have one Marans..but she isnt a BCM..she is another type. I also love the Americaunas and the Speckled Sussex. I love ALL the Chicken breeds out there..but want to be wise and have only what I need.
I need rainbow egg cartons! I need Salmon Faverolles and Coronation Sussex hens for their pinkish eggs, Oliver Eggers for their green eggs, Ameraucanas for their blue eggs, Welsummers for their dark speckly eggs, and I need Black Copper Marans for their deep terracotta eggs. And they’re all on their way next month (hatching eggs)!! Woot! (P.S., I already have the Silver Gray Dorkings for the white eggs.)
Well you know I love the Buff Orpingtons so much, but if I had to pick just one breed to get started with, I will have to go with the Easter Eggers due to their heat tolerance, different looks, and colorful eggs. I really like you on FB.
Any good brown layers to start my first flock.

Thanks for the great contest & if you’d like to get in contact with more “chicken people” check out my likes on FB!
I was having trouble getting Black Copper Marans as far as availability, I ended up ordering Welsummers instead for the dark brown eggs so a brooder would come in handy about now. I absolutely LOVE your website, I learn so much from all the information you provide.
I need 2 Rhode Island Whites, 1 white Silkie, 1 Welsummer and 2 Ameraucanas. (Mine are nearly 14 years old and haven’t laid any blue eggs in years.)
Thank you for the contest.

i liked you on facebook awhile back ;p and i have to say of the breeds listed the marans, sussex ;p i would chose standard cochins for broody my experience is they are one of the best at it. i like the egg color and production as well as temperament with the sussex and the marans . if i was going to go out of my box i would get a sumatra rooster
I would love some Orpingtons…maybe buffs and for sure some blue..! And Americaunas are fun.

Oh gosh, are we allowed to pick ALL of them???? if I had to pick, I’d pick gold-laced Wyandottes, silver-laced Polish, Partridge cochins, favrerolls, and buff brahmas. I love a varied flock, with different colors and personalities. 🙂

I would love to have some assorted rare breeds, but I’m not super picky 🙂 I just want happy chickens that I can raise to be super friendly, and I’d like them to be big enough that I could let them free range during the day and coop them at night for protection.

Sarah odayz98@aol.com
I need Barred Ricks so I can collect their feathers when they molt! We have Dominiques but their feathers are too soft for some crafts. I need about six good barred Rocks!
I love this blog post. For sure has some great things to think about before getting your chickens. I currently have an Australorp and she is an amazing friend and egg layer. I would love to add to my flock with a few various breeds or even some healthy mutt chickens.
My name is Carrie Moore and email is carrie_alexandria@yahoo.com.
I want Barnevelders so badly that it makes my teeth ache. I spend hours looking at pictures of them and admiring their beauty. There are lots of gorgeous, sweet breeds out there, but the Barnevelder is the one that makes me swoon.

More Rhode Island Reds please! They are such wonderful birds- friendly and happy, and great layers! Candice at purplecatpaws1@hotmail.com. Have a great day!

Tawni Wright, I need some silver laced Wyandotes! I also need Buff Orpington, and Black Giants! tmwright28@yahoo.com
I would like to raise some bantams. I have enough egg layers for now but I would like some silkies and a few others for their broodiness and just because I think they are beautiful.
I need Australorps, Welsummer, Faverolle and Cochin! I have Red Stars, but if I didn’t, I would need them too. They are so friendly and are such good layers.
Love the Australorps!
I really want Silkies! They are adorable!
Jessica Humphrey
pinkrosejjh@yahoo.com
I need more BLRW. Both my hens are splash and my roo is blue. I need some blue or black hens to round out the color options.
The Frizzle Cochins are adorable!!! I have some little bantam chicks coming in a few days (silkies, frizzles, birchen cochins, old englishes). They are my kids’ 4-H birds and a ecoglow 20 brooder sounds wonderful. Our heat lamps scare me a little bit. ~Coti Weeks
cody_coti@yahoo.com
Well, “need” is relative, but tried and trues like RIR or Barred rocks are always good, as are Buffs, which I’ve not owned yet. However, I’d like to try some an uncommon breed, like an Appenzeller Spitzhauben, but maybe because that’s just fun to say.
I just added a few more chicks to my order! This year: 2 Buff Orps, 1 Black Austrolope, 1 Speckled Sussex and a Amerauacana (hopefully blue – like the one in the picture you posted the other day) Can’t wait for my April 6 Chick day! Thanks for all you do. MIChickenRevolution@gmail.com
All of them!!! 🙂

I need (okay, and would absolutly LOVE) Silkie Bantams <3
mrsd99@ptd.net
I think the Brahma would be the breed for me. I have a lot of kids and grandchildren who love chickens and this one seems perfect to me.
We’re getting ready to start a small flock. I’m looking at Buff Orphingtons, Easter eggers, Wyandottes, and Marans. I hope I can find what I want. dhorne7@nc.rr.com
I would love the Assorted Brown Egg Layers-Standard 🙂

I have Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red and Buff Orpington and I really want more of the Buffs. They are super gentle, good layers and lay large eggs.
I have Delawares and RIRs and some Australorps and/or Orpingtons would round out my gang! sheil4458@gmail.com
Would love to have a couple of Australorps to add at a later date 🙂
Best, Micayla Ash
I like dark dark brown eggs, would love to have more Marans
Goatherder … goatherder3@gmail.com I would love to add some different breeds to our small flock of Orpingtons and Easter Eggers…There is nothing like hearing hens SING and roosters crow!!!
I would like a Speckled Sussex, Black Copper Maran, Welsummer, Rhode Island Red, Golden Laced Syandotte and a Buff Orpington! 😉 Hope I win!!!
We have 6 4 week old straight run Wyandottes and 3 4 week old Red pullets we got from TSC. We also have 4 ducks (2 Pekins and 2 Rouens). I am hoping to get some Buff Orpingtons and Australorps ASAP. We have two acres and want a lot of birds for a lot of eggs for us (we are a family of 8) and may who already are on the wait list to buy eggs.
I would love Buff Orpington, Silver laced & gold laced wyandottes, black australorp, barred rock….oh so many breeds, so little time….Love chickens…they are more fun than watching tv….
Oh, Oh, Oh!! I NEED a buff brahma bantam to be friends with my mottled cochin bantam and a beautiful white crested blue polish, just because. And also, maybe a blue laced red wyandotte and/or a blue ameraucana. Loving the blues! Looking forward to chickies again this spring!! Jessica skichik2@yahoo.com
I already have Black Copper Marans, Cream Legbars, a Barred Rock and a few Easter Eggers all I need is a few white egg layers! So Light Brown Leghorns is the breed I need!
I think a Jersey giant will do good around my 2 year old. She loves feeding them but sometimes she cant help but chase them around.

I want some gold wyandottes. black copper marans and some lavender orpingtons. There are so many beautiful birds, I have to narrow it down to these. I think they would be beautiful with my buff orpingtons and easter eggers. Thanks for your wonderful blog and posts on facebook!
Temperament is my first consideration when choosing a breed. My chickens are my pets. The second is climate tolerance. Utah can has some pretty cold winters and even though I take extra precautions with their housing, I still worry about comfort since I do not use heaters.

I’ll eventually have at least two of as many breeds as I can find. The Frizzle Bantam is my favorite overall so I’ll likely get that breed next. 🙂
I would like some Copper Marans. Love the color of their eggs. Also, some Orpingtons would be nice. I love the one Buff I have. She loves to hatch out chicks!!
After Barred Rocks and Red Stars, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have some Buff Orpingtons. My chick dream is to own 3 o them and call them my “Golden Girls” and name them accordingly. Shhhh please do not tell anyne or the men with nets will show up.
I would love to have welsummer bantams. My kids need a smaller chicken for 4-H showmanship.
I live in a climate where cold hardy breeds are needed, I don’t have any Marans, I would love to add those. I am adding Blue Cochins this spring. Thanks for another giveaway!
Plymouth rock, Cochin and Ameraucanas.
Australorp, heat tolerant and great layers!

i need barred plymouth rocks – already named her – Matilda
I used the My Pet Chicken Breed Selector tool to choose our first batch of 6 chicks that should be arriving any day now! I have two children (ages 4 and 14) so friendly chickens were of the utmost importance. We were also sure to choose heat tolerant breeds as we live in NC where the summers can be quite sweltering. Egg-laying and color of eggs were of importance as well. We chose to begin our flock with 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Eater Eggers, and 2 Plymouth Rocks. I can’t wait to begin this adventure!
In the future, I might be interested in adding some Lavender Orps, possibly Dorkings, and Silkies because they are just too darn cute!

I need a Wyandotte as they are great layers, hold up well in the AZ heat, and are beautiful birds.
I need silkies and cream legbars 😉 gaeilgegardens@Hotmail.com
I will JUST be starting out with chickens this Spring, so I think the best choice for me would be the Dominque and the Delware, because it stated that they are both calm and friendly. 🙂 I’m so excited!

I have fifteen chicks coming in April! Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, and Araucanas… So excited! The breed I need however, would be a Buff Laced Polish- they’re so beautiful, and their little ‘hairstyles’ remind me of a favorite great aunt who never left the house without her signature giant bouffant hairdo! haha… I would name my little chicken Justine in her honor. :o) Would love to have and EcoGlow Brooder for my chicks, it just seems safer and healthier for them.

Another Maran or very dark egg layer would be nice as well as chicken that lays pink colored eggs but I am unsure which breed those are but I enjoy the varied colors in the nesting boxes.
I would like a Silver Spangled Hamburg, because my chickens run free, and she will love to do that too. Also, she is very elegant, and GREAT looking. 🙂

My personal favorites are Silkies and I will eventually have more of those, but my grand daughter, nieces and nephews want me to get some Easter Eggers. The kids choices always over-rule mine, so that is currently the breed I need! =)
Adore your website! Thank you for all that you share, your excellent information and the neat contests as well.
Barred Plymouth Rocks are in my future!
My son has Down syndrome and he Loves chickens. We are new to the chicken scene we got baby chicks last year. We are going to move out of town so he can have his chickens. We thought it would be a great way for him to have a life time hobby. We are going to set him up with an egg business. We would love an olive egger or an anaconda He loves the colored eggs. If you have any advice for us we would greatly appreciate it. We only have six chickens now. Thank you Patty Coyne nevertoomanykids@gmail.com

Like you already on FB. And I found that Jersey Giants would also do well in my flock…. and Glad to see some of the breeds of the chicks I ordered were part of my selected too!
I actually began a list the other day of all the breeds I’d like to have. The list isn’t even finished, and I’m up to 16 breeds. Have a feeling this is going to turn into a bigger operation than I expected. Some of the breeds on my list are silkies, silver laced wyandottes, buff orpingtons, the black striped kind of plymouth rock, seramas, easter eggers, light sussex, olive eggers, frizzles, polish, and ameracaunas.
Forgot to leave my Email, and that’s important, because I KNOW I’m going to win this. 🙂 rebel4949@aol.com

Bantam or Wyanottes. Any good egg layers!! LOL
I would love some White Sultan or Salmon Faverolles or Blue Ameraucana or Easter egger, Polish. My Flock is for my grand children to have fun memorable childhood experiences with them learning about hatching and about how to care for them and they love the more stylish and friendly chickens. They also give me drive,I am disabled and they give me a reason to get up in the morning and move around plus the companionship and caring for them is a great type of therapy. I just love them.

Rhode Island Red or Wyandottes, any would really do just good layers! LOL
Already a FB follower and love your blog. Right now I would love some Easter Eggers…good with children and lay subtle-colored eggs. 🙂
Need Rhode Islands!
Rhode Island Reds or Whites.
My husband wants Ohio Buckeyes; my kid wants polish. Me? I want a Frizzle.
We just purchased a mix of 17 Black Copper, Blue Copper, Splash Marans to start a dedicated Marans coop. They are beautiful little happy chicks who hopefully lay an abundance of tasty dark shelled eggs this fall. And… I just won The Chicken Chicks silent auction for a mix of BC Marans and Olive Egger hatching eggs. Marans and Olive Eggers were at the top of my want list for egg color. Hopefully in the future I can get my hands on some Cream Legbar eggs for a beautiful blue egg in my basket. And I would love to have Double Laced Barnevelders and some Jubilee Orpingtons too. Oh so many wants. The new Brinsea Brooder would be an awesome win to make sure my egglets on the way have a safe place once they hatch! 😉

The breed I need is Buckeyes! They are the only chicken developed by a woman, and even right here in Ohio! I love my Buckeyes and can’t wait to get more!
My spring chick order includes a Buff Orpington, Black Australorp & Speckled Sussex – they arrive April 6th. The last chick will either be a Black Australorp or an Amerauacana. I live in Oregon and these breeds do well in our climate, are good for the backyard and have decent egg production! But, after seeing your morning post of the picture of your beautiful blue Amerauacana – that may have made my decision for me! Thanks for the chance to win the brooder!
I really want Silkies!
Would love to add black copper marans to my flock.
Thanks,
Jenny

Right now I have 2 buff brahma bantams, 2 speckled sussex, 1 golden penciled hamburg, 2 golden laced wyandottes, 2 silver laced wyandottes, 2 partridge rocks, 2 barred rocks, 1 blue wheaten ameraucana, 2 blue wheaten ameraucanas, 1 splash maran, 1 black Australorp & 1 golden Polish. 13 of the ladies will be 4yrs. old in April & the other 6 girls will be 7mo. old next week. I have had silkies, crevecour, partridge cochin & silver polish. I NEED some blue Ameraucanas and splash silkies. There are so many I would love to try!
Assorted silkie bantams are one of the breeds that My Pet Chicken suggested and they are lovely. Donna Smith dsmith@stjohnspds.org
I think I need a broody, cold-tolerant Cochin.
I love the Australorps! Fun, beautiful and friendly!
I NEED a Silkie (any color) and some blue Cochins.
I like you on FB.

I need more Easter Eggers for Easter of course!!
Thanks for the giveaway,Heather
I need a Welsummer, New Jersey Giant, Buff Orpington… the list goes on and on.

I’m planning to get Silkies this spring, because they are docile and I can pretend they are rabbits! 🙂 In case you’re wondering, it’s because I am afraid of chickens and need to ease into being a chicken keeper!
I would love to have some Marans!
I NEED my Cochin and Silkies!!!!

I need a silkie to be a broodie mama! None of my other chickens ever go broodie
I have 9 different breeds coming in a few days, but what I didn’t order, which would be lovely is the Hamburg and the Speckled Sussix…beautiful!

I would love to own some gold laced polish. This is a breed I love but do not own any and don’t have room for 25 at a time.
I would love some Easter eggers. But since it’s a giveaway I would take anything but Bantams.
The breed I need? I like to have a flock with a little of everything! Right now, though, I am wanting to add some more Russian Orloffs to the flock.
cyanne@gmail.com
I “need!” olive eggers and Copper Splash Maran to complete my color palette of eggs. AND because they are beautiful and would round out my flock nicely. 🙂 I’m the broody one for Spring. I just want babies! LOL
This year I want to try Golden Laced Wyandotts and Buff Orpingtons (it’s an addiction, I know.) I have been keeping chickens for years, and am pretty much self-taught. However, in the few months that I have been following you, I have learned so much! Thank you for all of the great info! -Rayna (trbishop@myfairpoint.net)
(Started incubating two dozen eggs last night…wish me luck!)
I really want to add Marans, Red laced blue wyandottes, and Ameraucanas. I love a variety of egg colors from docile, gentle hens.
Leah – pljhenry@windstream.net
The breed I need is a New Hampshire Red or perhaps Java. I want docile girls who lay a lot, but I don’t particularly care about having colorful blue or green eggs. Brown is exotic enough for me. No broodies needed, either. Just happy little breakfast producers. 😉
Hello from beautiful Harmony Grove, Arkansas! Speckled Sussex would be my choice. I enjoy all the pictures and funnies from The Chicken Chick, thanks for the FUN!
Sonya

I NEED some Blue Ameraucanas!
Thanks for having such an informative blog, has really been a life saver a time or two!
Speckled Sussex and Silver Marans would be a welcome addition to my laying flock…I love a variety of eggs…
I would LOVE to get some Buff Orpingtons.
I need some Orpingtons to round out my flock.
I just want some good old fashioned white egg layers – been wanting chickens for about 10 years now – looks like this year might be the year finally – winning this would sure help me be on my way to starting.

I love my Bantams, So I would like to get more Cochin, Silkies, Frizzle Cochins and some day get White Crested Polish. Working on my Sizzle project right now.
I would like to have Buckeyes and Dominiques if possible. Steve Harris. samasara0@hotmail.com
We love docile dual purpose birds. Australorps and speckled Sussex are our faves
I live in Alabama, and have Wyandottes, Marans,1 Dominique, and 1 Ameracauna. I learned the hard way silkies did not do well for me in the cold, they ended up with pneumonia and my coop was to high up for them and we would have to place them up in there every night. I would love to hatch some more Marans and Ameracunas their egg production has been great! I would love to have a Brinsea instead of the dinosaur incubator I have now and I wish you were my neighbor, I love your blog!!!
I would LOVE some Black Copper Marans. Though you have me in love with your Blue
Araucauna, too!!

I am new to this we hatched 3 so far City turning country my kids love it .Would love to win this I guess I would like some Black Australorps But I have alot to learn lots of reading Email is artsykindofmom@yahoo.com Thank you for the chance to win this .
An assortment. I love all the different colors.
After the hatch I recently had and trying to see which one of my hens would adopt the little dear chicks I realised it was going to be mine and the brooders job to be surrogates, I keep reading such good things about Silkies but im yet to aquire one, hopefully by my next hatch I will have a broody or invest in one of those Brimsea heat lamps.
Great info! We tend to go with birds that are prolific layers as well as cold hardy, and do well in both confinement and free ranging. We tend to do well with Barred Rocks, but we also love our orpingtons 🙂
I need to raise some Ameracaunas. I need to plan a bit more for a Silver Spangled Hamburg to be truly happy! ~Phyllis Ida Concordia phylomina@gmail.com
I live in Alabama and have a few marans and 2 wyandottes. I learned the hard way that silkies were not re right breed for me. They ended up catching pneumonia. I would say my choice would would love to hatch some more Ameracaunas and Marans, they have been very faithful layers for me. And the eggs are gorgeous! I would love to have a brinsea, instead of the dinosaur I hae! I also wish you were my neighbor, love your blog!!!
I need some Silky hens to hatch my eggs.
I really need some marans! I always have to have an EE or two. darkwithdancing@bellsouth.net
Ok, here we go. “The breed I need” are a Frizzle,and more Orpington’s. We are still using the scary heat lamp and NEED the EcoGlow. Pick me!
I have wanted Lavender Orpingtons, but leaning towards Blue Ameraucana or Blue Orpington’s. I think their color is pretty.

I would love some Ameraucanas and Polish. I have babies now and it would be so nice not to have to quadruple attach the heat lamp every time I need to make a temp adjustment.
I need a black cochin frizzle I used to have a rooster named captian jack who was a black cochin and he was ausome
Mostly what I have are silkies. I have 3 mottled cochins, 5 easter egger bantams, 5 mille fleur, and 20 silkies (so silkie motherload lol) I am dying for some russian orloffs, but they are really hard to find. The only hatcheries that sell them require 25 minimum and well I am running out of space for that many!

I would love to add some lavender Orps and blue Marans! Thanks kkl@tds.net Karenk.
So excited about the ecoglow possibility! We just lost the second of our Wyandottes, who had happily been with us for lots of capers for several years, so we would love a couple of those, marans, orpingtons, and a couple Ameraucanas. But we will take our time getting there!
Erin Nelson of Patriots Dream Farm
I would like anything Frizzle or a polish :). Great article! This weekend I did not follow any of your advice and I bought my bantams because they were just too cute!
Buff Laced Polish for my son 🙂
Blue Ameraucanas for me! Amanda caacameron@aol.com
Australorps!!! I love them
ill take anything
MARANS
According to mypetchicken.com a java or dorking would be good for what i need/want (I do like them) If I had enough room i would have all sorts of different kinds, I am a big fan of Isa browns. But we decided to raise Sizzles and Copper Marans.
I would feel safer with an eco glow around the kids then the stupid heat lamp I have to use now. Lounies@comcast.net
I love the look of the Appenzellers, I think it would be cool to have a roo strutting around! The eggs from the black copper Marian’s are gorgeous, I’d love to add a few of them to my flock! The list goes on and on, polish, fizzles, silkies! My chicks are coming April 8th. It’s my first flock ever! I ordered 8 brown egg layer variety. Consisting of 1 of each… Delaware, Australorp, RIR, buff Orpington, specked Sussex, Easter egger, silver laced wynodotte, & a barred rock! I need one of those Eco glows, the beat lamp set up scares me. I’ve been following your posts daily! They are wonderful! Thanks for all the awesome info! Your the best! Lindawoerner@me.com
Rhode Island Reds sound perfect for a beginner living in New England. Cold hearty and pretty docile – Perfect! Thanks!!
I would love silkies!!! Good luck everybody!
I would love to add a few silkies to my flock, they would be my guilty pleasure, just for looks! (and maybe hatching out some babies for me!)
Karen Jordan Hatch I love just about all of them but I really want some Marans.
I love them all. I would really like to get some blue laced red wyandottes though. Maybe next spring.

Im waiting till July for my first 8 ladies from MPC. Have a nice assortment coming, but most excited for my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. If I could get a few more I may go for A Speckled Sussex, Blue Orpington, and Black Copper Marans.

If I had the money to spend I would definitely go with some Blue Ameraucanas.

I always need more naked necks 🙂 Love them!
I need a variety, too! More eggs! So then, a couple of leghorns – I don’t have any white layers, a barred rock to replace the one that got coyoted last year, a silver-laced wyandotte, to replace the one that was a BIG GIANT ROOSTER last year, and I’d LOVE to have a broody silkie so I wouldn’t NEED the brooder I’d like to win…. Also, I have a dwarf Olandsk roo and a speckelled hamburg roo, and I’d LOVE to have an assortment of vary-colored egg laying banty hens…
Boy, how I love having chickens!!!
I just need to have a blue and a wheaten Ameraucana 🙂 Thank you for having all of these wonderful contests and such a great blog. Good luck everyone!

I like and will stay with the Assorted Bantams. I live in the city and they are perfect for our space. I have Saramas right now and love them.
We are excited to be welcoming 4 new breeds in about 4 weeks! Wyandottes, Speckled Sussex, Cuckoo Marans, & Lavender Ameraucanas! But 1 other breed I just really, really want is Olive Eggers. That will probably have to wait until next year though. 🙂 I’d love to have this brooder for the new babies.
I would love the Blue Americauna & Cochins, Speckled Sussex and Black Copper Marans. I like a variety of chickens roaming the yard, and enjoy seeing a rainbow of eggs.
We made a homemade incubator from recycled materials- total cost $8, and have now hatched out 3 Silver leghorns, 1 barnevelder, 2 welsummers, 2 easter eggers, and a wyandotte this weekend. One of the chicks had a bad foot and so we made him a sandal, just like your example on your blog. He’s looking pretty sporty!

I would like Ameracana, I have someone hatching some this month; Plymouth Rock; Speckled Sussex; Australorp.
I NEEE a white bearded silkie!

I would love some Blue orpingtons, Black Copper Marans, lavender Orpingtons, Silkies, Sicilian Butter cups, and any breed that are really great egg layers.
I would love to add some silkies to my flock.
Oh, I “need” Black Copper Marans. I have ALWAYS adored the egg color…and their hardiness.
I am wanting to get some Barred Rocks and Red Stars. They are both good layers. I would also love to have some Olive Eggers so I could have some of those gorgeous olive colored eggs!
Brown egg layers. Would love to get Black Copper Marans!
I NEED some silkies and Polish, and Spitzhaubens, and bantam BRs, and … well, I think you understand… 🙂 I lost my last silkie several days ago, and it’s just not the same. 🙁
I have a small flock of various breeds now… but we found we really enjoy the Americauna’s and the Marans. We have one marans and a handful of the Americauna’s in the flock and would like to add some more. We also have one Welsumer and I just love that girl… I’d love to add some more of them as well. Since it wouldn’t behoove me to get too many more hens.. These would be my top choices for now.
Assorted brown egg layers,
Diane Wunschel
I would like to start with some silver spangled hamburgs for their laying capability. Also a silkie because they look so cool and it would be nice to have a sort of den mother to take care of any chicks that need adopting. 🙂
Jeff kallenbach would love some Speckeled sussex
kallenklukers@gmail.com
I would enjoy cold tolerant but historic breeds…Dominiques are so pretty. I also would enjoy having some chocolate egg layers…never have had them before……….Marans.

I would love 2 female Blue Ameraucunas
I would like Speckled Sussex, Blue Orpington and Wheaten Ameraucana.
You say need, well hope to have would be better, I love the Speckled Sussex and the Black Copper Maran. Thank you as always for being so helpful to those that are new and love to learn
I would love some chickens for bright colored eggs that are laid often hehe so much fun for the kids! so I am thinking some chicks like: easter egger or any of the “tinted” egg layers or a variety of! 🙂 thanks!! you guys have an awesome blog and look forward to the posts daily <3
oh and Elisha Rhoades @ elisharhoades@gmail.com (sorry!)
Shame on you forgetting your info Elisha 😛 I thought I taught you better than that
I am India Whitehead, @ originalempress@gmail.com
I need some Speckled Sussex
I would like some Silkies and a couple of Anconas…the rare breed package would be neat, too.
I want a variety. I would likesome good egg layers,but I would also like 2 broodies for hatching out future generations. I would like egg colors across the spectrum so that it is easier to tell which chickens are laying and how often. Then if one stops laying for some reason, it will be easier to check which one and if they are sick and need to be treated. I ordered a bunch of different chicks this year, wyandottes, aracaunas, cochins, red star,and leghorns. I hope to later on get some Marans. I would also like to get some ducks because we have a pond.

Nancy Cuzisayso254@embarqmail.com
Girls that I would love to have are Blue Ameraucanas and Welsummers. I would then have girls that lay all colors. 😀 What fun collecting eggs would be with a full “egg rainbow!”
I would love to win the brooder.
PS Thanks for all the vet care posts. Very helpful!

Kathy, I’ve been wanting Black Copper Marans. I have to admit its because of the color of their eggs. I have 20 plus various brown layers and 4 EEs and I LOVE the different colors of eggs I get. Itjust seems like dark brown egg would be the perfect addition.
I forgot to give you my email. phoebe@horizonview.net

Either a silver or golden laced wyandotte…her name will be Georgette 🙂

Hello! I’d love 1 of each please if I win! Thanks so much!! holycarpetsharks@hotmail.com
I don’t have any Polish right now…I sure would like to have another little Polish hen….
I would love cold hardy egg layers, specifically Rhode Island Reds and Red Stars. Thank you!
I need blue prohibitions and blue Ameracaunas:). That’d complete my flock!
I would love to have more silkie bantams! mike.harden@comcast.net

I would love Blue Orpingtons or Dominiques. There are so many wonderful chickies to chose from, it’s hard to pick. I love your blog and get a kick out of the pics you post!
I am liking the silver laced wyandottes and the speckled sussex. So many pretty ones, but I especially like docile ones who aren’t flighty and goofy. chuckollar@yahoo.com
I want some Buff Orpingtons and Black Australorps! I can’t get chicks until I have a brooder!
I have benn a long time FB follower and enjoy it!! I am thinking the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte would suit well for us!
i NEED a few lavender orpingtons! they’re so pretty!

I would like some Speckled Sussex., Marans , Ameraucanas!, splash cochins , Barred Plymouth Rock Bantam, and Australorps. I love baby chickens and I have been raising chickens most of my life and I am 62.

Already a Facebook Follower. I need more Silkies (only one at present, she is a dear) and likely a few more Americanas. We do need a roo, though, so there will be fertile eggs for hatching!

Lol as a empty nester I need any breed that thinks of me as mama. Sharron Davis nurnan101@gmail.com I wanna keep em warm too.
I’m just getting started, but from what i’ve read i’d like good tempered egg layers. Maybe some australorps, and some buff orpingtons. The rock family looks good too, as does the silver laced wyandotte. There is so much to choose from…

I’d love to try my hand at a few Black Copper Marans or maybe Blue Orpingtons. Thanks for the chance to win a brooder.
Nancy Thompson
I have austrolorp- would like brahma and dominique.
we are just starting out. Looking for dual purpose. I like the Orpingtons, Hubby likes the Wyandottes. Any heritage really.
I have 5 hens but I need a few more 🙂 For no other reason that I have the room, and I’d like to round out my egg color palate. I currently get light brown, med brown, green, blue and an almost pink. So I’d like a Black Copper Maran for chocolate brown eggs, an Olive Egger for dark green, maybe a Campine or Ancona for white eggs, and lastly a Welsummer because I adore spotted eggs. That should do it..for now 😉
Oh, and my email is harbisgirl@sbcglobal.net
I intended on simply typing “Ameraucana!: due to our personal luck with the one we have, but decide to give the ‘Ol “Breed Selector” a whirl- AMERAUCANA! I rest my case:)

🙂 I have 6 week-old Speckled Sussex right now (and boy, are they hilarious!), and I’m getting a Barred Rock, a Buff Orpington, two Cinnamon Queens, an Austrolorp, and an Americauna on April 4th. I like a variety ~ but I want to make sure they’re friendly (I have grandchildren) and good egg-layers.
let’s see, the list would include: australorp, delaware, favaucana, faverolles, legbar, plymouth rocks, sussex, wyandottes, and of course Polish, just because they are so purty!
I have babies coming April 8th and one of these baby snugglers would be wonderful!
