Chicken Breeds

 

When it comes to backyard chickens, there are many different chicken breeds to choose from. However, sometimes it can be difficult to tell which breed your chicken is. This is where chick and egg identification comes in handy!

There are a few things you can look for when trying to identify a chicken breed. First, take a look at the size of the bird. Some chicken breeds are larger than others, so this can be a helpful clue. Second, look at the color of the plumage. Each chicken breed has its own unique color pattern. Finally, pay attention to the shape of the eggs that the chicken lays. Again, each breed lays eggs that are a different shape and size.

If you’re still having trouble identifying your chicken’s breed, don’t worry! There are many resources available to help you out. You can always consult a chicken expert or even look online for more information. Or check on this handy chart.

Now that you know a little bit more about chick and egg identification, you’ll be able to tell which chicken breed you have in no time!

How to make 3 different Chicken Feeders with PVC.

I am always looking to find a cheaper way to take care of my chickens. So I built these three different Chicken Feeders with some PVC to show you how to do it too. I used 3″ pvc and fittings. So if you know someone who does plumbing, you might be able to get these materials a little cheaper than at the local hardware store.

If you have ever considered getting chickens, they are a great source of food and entertainment. They can live in small portable coops called chicken tractors which work great in small backyards. They can eat many of the same foods that we eat, but keep it in moderation. It is a good idea to keep them on a pellet diet if they are caged, but even better if you can let them be free range. If you get your chickens when they are chicks, they will grow up knowing you and come running most of the time when you come to feed them. They can provide hours of entertainment because each one has its own personality, just like people.
