Sorry to hear about your affliction, I mean loving chickens and all. I think even in Cali there are laws against that.

[aunt betty]

Mind if I do a little dog training with them? He wont hurt your chickens...much.

I like those little chickens with feathers down to their feet that lay little blue eggs and eat bugs out of the garden. I also like those that roost in trees. Can't remember their breed names.

Buff Cochins are the only chickens I've had with feathered legs but I don't think they laid blue eggs.

My wife has the ugliest damn chickens I've ever seen. They have no feathers on their necks.

We've got one Light Brahma that lays very light green eggs, but I thought that was because she had been crossed with an Americana at some point.

I had a friend in Colusa County, California that raised game fowl. He gave me a trio of Kelsos and a trio of Radio Kelsos. My wife had a school board member that wanted to do something to get the "Mexican Kids" interested in 4H and FFA. You should have seen the line to get signed up to raise game fowl. School board just about shit a brick because fathers, uncles and older brothers arrived with the students to get the chickens. We got invited to one of the school board members house for dinner. The lady's husband was a California Superior Court Judge who called me to task for even suggesting such a thing as raising game fowl, said it was illegal and could not be tolerated. I explained that it wasn't illegal to own them or raise them and that the kids could win blue ribbons at the county fair because no one else was showing fighting chickens. He took me into the law library in his home and looked it up and then apologized......Superior Court Judges don't like being wrong but fuck it, it was his dinner and his booze and I was as polite as I could be for the rest of the evening.

Furry foot chickens is the proper term

Chickens don't have to have fur for "Furry Foot Chickens" to be a proper name. If you knew anything about chickens you would know that. I believe that the multi colored egg laying chickens are Araconnas of however you spell it. The little small chickens with fancy feathers that roost in trees come from Africa.

hey DH, what's a good dual purpose that is winter hardy? thinking if i can ever get out of this shit apartment i'd like to get some Buff orps and another breed.

[bill herian]

Might sound silly, but its always been a dream of mine of raise some chickens. I guess its more the context of raising chickens, living in a good place to do it, that makes it a goal. Same with having a big ass garden.

not silly at all, I think many here want to do the same.

what is silly is some people think food comes from a grocery store.

This is some scientific shit, I believe furry foot is the latin name.

[hudson]

The only good chicken is a fried chicken

[hudson]

At one time I had a couple hundred head of chickens till hurricane rita.chickens dont swim too well.had guineas too, only had ten of those and I got tired of all the racket they made everytime a shadow would pass by em so they all went into gumbos

Only chickens I'll buy any more for egg layers. Forget dual purpose if you want meat chickens raise meat chickens.

Buffs or Brahmas would be good for winter layers and the Brahmas will get big. But as to dual purpose I'm with Jgun. Layers usually don't develop much fat content and will be dry and tasteless. If I was you I'd raise broilers in the spring to eat and have layers all year round. The broilers are really easy to raise, last batch I raised at home, not commercial, I had for 6-7 weeks and when they were slaughtered they were all around 10 lbs. They taste a hell of a lot better than what you buy. I raise 25 at a time and usually have 18-20 make it to slaughter and that will last a year, but I don't know how much chicken you eat.

personally i'll slay some chicken, if i raised em i could eat em every day. the woman would probably want to eat the layers since she doesn't like skin or fat (meaning she likes dry and tasteless chicken)

yeah, I dunno how much i buy into the dual purpose stuff to be honest, i think it would be easier to have a few different breeds depending on what you want. I thought the Buffs favored toward meat chickens since they get so damn big, am i incorrect?

I like the look of the ISAs, i'll have to read up on them more.

Yeah Buffs and Brahmas both get up there in weight and would be good meat chickens, but IMO I'd rather raise broilers cause of the fat content. It really comes down to how you cook it.

[The Duck Hammer]

I didn't realize the ISAs were a Rhode Island Red variant. We raised a bunch of reds years back and they are great layers.
