TOP 20 The best chicken breeds for homestead farming, self-sufficient, egg layers and table fowl

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

This video gives you an insight to the amazing world of chicken breeds and includes twenty different breeds, which I have all visited and filmed by myself in the last four years. You will meet dual purpose breeds aswell, as the best egg-layers and the best table fowls. Only the hybrid chicken strains of the industry will not be included, because they are not really true breeds in the traditional definition (And there is no need to give them more upswing).
I think the huge diversity of chicken breeds is amazing and for the novice its not allways totally easy to chose from.
The chicken breeds in this video are:
Swedish Flower chicken (skånsk blommehöna)
Jersey Giants
Cream Legbar
Sandjak Longcrower chicken
Brown Leghorn
Malines (Coucou de Malines chicken)
Orpington
Bielefelder (Kennhuhn)
Vorwerk chicken
Faverolles (Lachshuhn)
Orloff
Araucana (South American Rumpless chicken)
Sulmtaler chicken
Wyandottes
Marans
Bresse Gauloise (Les Bleus)
Welsummer Bantam chicken
Sundheimer chicken
New Hampshire chicken
Exchequer Leghorn chicken
I know there are other breeds existing, which are very good birds for self-sufficiency aswell, such as the Rhode Island Red, the Amrock, the Plymouth Rock or the Australorp, but since I am only using my own footage, I am not able to show breeds in my videos which I never met for filming in the past years.

    We are happiest with red star and barred rock brown egg layers. The barred rock being just a bit more accepting of humans. I have raised about 150 and more variety and these two have become our favorite for egg layers. I am not against bunting or using the chickens for meat birds. There are many that are better than the red star and barred rock. I don't like to kill anything anymore. I don't even fish. I have had over 1,000 deaths in my long tenure as a firefighter-paramedic. It has affected me. We have poultry for eggs and pets. We have ducks and turkey as well. And a search and rescue dog, the last of my 27, that herds the ducks and keeps the rooster from constantly attacking my daughter. Some of your top twenty I have raised when we also had meat birds. If your flock is small enough you will notice differences between individual birds. Good show. Now, everyone, go out and enjoy your chickens

    Pay attention to the crows around you. They make certain warning calls, when a hawk is going to come around. Once you hear it take them in. That's what I do and I have 2 hawks that have our yard as part of their territory. And there's been some times when I got them in a couple minutes before a hawk showed up.
