New Hampshire Red Chickens / New Hampshires

New Hampshire Red Chick


New Hampshire Red Hen


New Hampshire Red Rooster

New Hampshire Red Chickens (or simply New Hampshires) were developed from the Rhode Island Red in the early 1900's to intensify the characteristics of the Rhode Island Red in terms of hardiness, egg production, and early maturation. New Hampshire Reds are a lighter shade of red than the Rhode Island Red and like the Rhode Island Red, the New Hampshires are very interactive with people and can be extremely friendly and calm or can occasionally turn aggressive, especially the roosters. New Hampshire Reds are very hardy and tolerate heat and cold well. New Hampshires are fantastic egg producers and lay large size brown eggs. New Hampshires also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.

Jersey Giant Chickens

The Huge Jersey Giant Chicken!


Black Jersey Giant Chick



Black Jersey Giant Hen



Black Jersey Giant Rooster

Jersey Giant chickens are aptly named as many of them reach 10 pounds or more. Developed in New Jersey in the mid 1800's, the Jersey Giant is the largest chicken breed in the world. Jersey Giants are predominently black, but also can be white, and more recently, a blue Jersey Giant has been developed. Jersey Giants are extremely hardy birds and do well in cold climates. Jersey Giants do tend to eat a lot of feed and may not be the most economical chicken to own, but they are nevertheless, great backyard flock birds because of their kind and gentle temperament. The friendly personality of the Jersey Giant makes this breed an excellent choice for children who want to raise chickens. Jersey Giants lay medium to large size brown eggs and make great mothers / brooders. As strange as this sounds, Jersey Giants also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.

Cochin Chickens / Cochin Bantams / Frizzle Cochins

White Frizzle Bantam Cochin


Cochin Chick

Cochin Hen

Cochin Rooster

Cochin chickens come in a variety of colors: white, black, blue, silver-laced, with buff being the most common. Cochins also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart. Cochins are popular as show birds because of their beautiful plummage, which covers their legs and feet. Extremely docile and friendly, Cochins are an ideal backyard flock choice, especially for children who want to raise chickens. Cochins lay small to medium size brown eggs. Cochins were originally bred in China and are hardy in both warm and cold climates, but because of their leg and feet feathers, they do not do well in extremely rainy and/or muddy conditions. The Frizzle Cochin is bred for its mutant feathers, which point outward instead of laying flat against the body. See Frizzles for a more detailed explanation of this variety of chicken. Cochins also make excellent mothers and will brood easily.

Developed 200 years ago in England, the Sussex breed comes in several varities: Speckled, Light, Buff, Red, and Silver. These chickens are extremely hardy and adapt well to very cold climates. They are quite friendly, calm, and gentle and do not mind being held. Like the kind tempered Buff Orpington, Sussex chickens are a great breed for children to raise.

Black Australorps were developed from the Orpington breed in Australia. These chickens are very hardy, especially in the cold, and are quite friendly and docile. Because of their kind personality, Australorps are an excellent breed choice for children who want to raise chickens. Black Australorps make an outstanding backyard flock member because of their mild temperament and their tendency to lay large amounts of medium size brown eggs. In 1922-1923 six Australorp hens broke the world record for the most eggs layed in a year: 1,857 eggs. On average, a healthy Australorp hen will lay approximately 250 eggs per year. Australorps also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.

Rhode Island Red Chickens / Rhodies

Rhode Island Red Chick


Rhode Island Red Rooster



Rhode Island Red Hen

Rhode Island Reds are very interactive chickens and are wonderful producers of medium to large size brown eggs. Though social and people oriented, they can become aggressive, especially the roosters. Overall, Rhode Island Reds are great birds to have in a backyard flock with their consistent egg production, hardiness (Rhode Island Reds are extremely hardy in both hot and cold climates), interest in people, and their entertaining antics (Rhodies have individual personalities that are endearing). Rhode Island Reds also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.
