Nice video! I too love my blue laced Wyandottes. They are absolute dolls. I only have two and I wish I got more, but I have six Easter Eggers that I basically rescued from terrible conditions. They were so petrified to be approached at only 3 weeks old and it took weeks of hand feeding them live mealworms to bring them some comfort when I was around. Now they feel safe with me but they still don't want me to touch them. I can pick two of them up without major issue but I have to sneak it to make it happen. The others still jump away. They are a bit feisty with each other and the others as well, but no real fighting or pecking has taken place (yet). If I had to do it over, I would honestly just get Wyandottes.

I've had lots of Barred Rocks. They have been the best and the worst. Which is weird. Some of the roosters, have been a bit too mean towards the handlers, and one spured me while I was chasing away puppies, because I did not put the corn out first.

i wish i could breed chickens. its literally the only thing ive ever always wanted to do. but i think ill live in a condo forever.

My family used to have a gold wyandotte and she was the most aggressive chicken we ever had. We have a few blue wyandottes now and they are the sweetest chickens just like you described in the video. One of them I named Curry and I could go outside and call out her name and shed jump up on my shoulder any chance she could get. Also loved our buff orphingtons they were always so curious and wanted to investigate EVERYTHING which made giving them interesting treats fun

I have a copper maran that has never plucked feathers, she lives with 18 other chickens of various breeds. I wonder if its because shes potentially a cross breed, her eggs are medium brown not dark brown/?

Speckled Sussex are my favorite. I love that they are medium sized dual purpose. Ours were great layers and smart. We lost all of our flock one year except a single Sussex. She was like a dog. She followed us everywhere, came when called, was always happy to join us and the dogs or the horses in whatever we were doing. If I ever get chickens again they is the first breed I will get and definitely would always keep if I have chickens.

I enjoyed your Video..!!

OMG, yes, our Marans are feather-pickers, too! 😥

My black chickens don't do this :0

My gran grew up on a farm. Her favorites were Leghorn & Rhode Island Red 😊✌

Isa Brown's are the friendliest chickens I've ever had but don't expect them to stay close to home. They have itchy heels and 10 to go all over hell's half acre. It's a problem if you have predators

I'd be making some feather plucking chicken for dinner!

Hybrid chickens are frankenfowl

Idk I also "know" people that been breeding chickens for 50 years and don't know anything about chickens... The same people you're using to validate your breeding you're also insulting in your opening comment... I've only been doing it two years but I'm not a uneducated country person, and never had any issues what so ever.

Favorite breed: Rhode Island Red. Next favorite breed: Ameraucanas.

I cannot imagine a person leaving you a nasty comment. Great video with special knowledge most people do not talk about and interesting commentary.

Lady you know your chickens!

Speckled Sussex is one of my favorites.

You would hate my chickens so much. They would ALL be in your garden, since they can fly quite well. You might like their broody behavior, though... even the ROOSTERS go broody, I swear, but if one goes... they all follow, until there's a grumpy, puffed up pile of birds fighting over who gets to sit on one single egg in the nesting boxes and nobody left outside. And yes, I've literally watched my young rooster desperately trying to show an experienced, exasperated hen how to sit on an egg, which is why I said that about roosters. He'd shape the bedding, cluck and puff up, sit on the egg, then jump up and tut around her anxiously before doing it all over again. I have Seramas.

Vaseline mixed beeswax (to make it a little thicker) smeared on their combs at night help with frostbite. I also put an infrared, caged light in there, on a timer. I got a lot more eggs in the wintertime than any of my neighbors. The extra cost electricity was neglible too.

Great video! Very informative!!!

Absolutely the worst chicken I ever had was a Lakenvelder dumped off on me by a neighbor. One day all the chickens got out during a storm, the gate blew off. My little Aussie mix adroitly rounded up all the chickens, calmly, no ruffled feathers. Except ONE. That Lakenvelder! We tried everything in our power, two experienced herding dogs and me. My one Aussie ran herself ragged. Before she overheated I called them in. The Lakenvelder flew off to a Palo Verde tree. It didn't come back to roost in the evening. No one could get near the tree. I finally left it for the coyotes. Good riddance. That's the first and only chicken I ever gave up on.

I don’t have chickens but think they are beautiful. Learned a lot also. Thank you for sharing.

My family had chickens when I was a kid. I had recently decided to start my own flock as an adult. We're in South Texas. I decided on Rhode Island Reds as a first dual purpose bird while I learn the ropes. We started with 6 chicks from TSC. Of the 6 we ended up with 3 hens and 2 roosters (98% sure). Oh, and a hawk snack. 🤦🏽‍♀️I think we are getting into range for the hens to start laying. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions in relation to this breed or in general?

Thanks for this video, I can't have chickens where I live, so I must choose the chickens I will never own but still badly want vicariously through you, hahaha <3

I have americanos My rooster he is so protective He's actually a little ornery He will attack but he keeps my hens safe

Put sone vicks vapor rub on those pecked spots. That'll stop it plus keep flies off .

Try growing and breeding fighting chicken. They are beautiful and worthy.

Cutee🥰🥰

Least favorite (out of chickens that I have owned) would go to Golden Laced Wyandotte, purely because they are pretty aggressive to other chickens, and they are super flighty. I have a variety of breeds, so a breed that doesn’t get along well with my other chickens is a problem. I don’t plan on getting rid of the one I have currently, but once she’s gone, I probably won’t be getting another anytime soon. Favorites (oh boy I have a lot) would go to Plymouth Rocks, Rainbow Dixies, and Easter Eggers. I love my Plymouth Rock girl, even though she has scoliosis. She’s a little special, but she’s super sweet. She’s also very vocal, which I understand many people would find annoying and unfavorable, but I like having my daily discussions with Jelly! My rainbow Dixie is a massive dual purpose girl, about the same size as my large rooster currently. He’s still got time to grow, but she is massive. She doesn’t enjoy being picked up much, but she likes to sit in my lap and get pets. She kind of always looks like a confused dinosaur, and I adore her for it. She was attacked by a dog about seven months ago, had a nasty injury, but with the help of some antibiotics and painkillers, we were able to get her through. She has shown great resilience, and despite not being super warm hardy (due to her size, probably), she is very cold hardy and handles any weather like a champ. My all time favorite chicken is the Easter egger. I currently have an Easter egger by the name of Peanutbutter, and she is just the absolute sweetest. Jumps on my back whenever I’m handing out snacks, flies up to my shoulder when I walk into the run, stands on my foot and picks at my pants to get picked up. She is such an amazing and social bird, she loves my entire family. She also lays very beautiful light blue eggs (not unlike your Amaraucanas) and she lays almost every day! I love her little bears and muffs, and her small size makes her easy to snuggle. She is a wonderful chicken, and I will certainly be owning more Easter eggers in the future.

You mentioned you were from Indiana. I live in Evansville, do you sell your blue laced Wyandotte? If so, where are you located to purchase or do you ship?

Defund. The FDA

black australorps are my favorite. starting to love dominique as well, both great layers of brown eggs. I just lost my only australorp rooster but i think i got some fertile eggs that were mixed with black sex link. they should be some good layers

Orpingtons are great. I used to have a hen that would "step up" onto my wrist, and she loved being petted and loved.

I brought numerous "breeds" into my yard. It was a free for all. I had a very integrated flock. I like cochins and banties. What I like are gray colored chickens. They tended to be the most reliable setters. Go figure. I enjoyed the endless colorations. I only ate the roosters. I miss my chickens.🌱

"Dumber than a box of rocks." I'm dying....lololololol

I'm limited on my knowledge of reeds, but my favorite breed that I currently owned is the sapphire gem. I have a female and she is smart, curious, and friendly...... And she's also got the cutest fluffy butt! LOL

Ameraucana/ Easter Eggers are my favorite! 😍

I love my black copper Marans! I buy eggs from breeders & hatch them myself. They all have been sweet, non feather picking chickens. Going on 8 yrs with them. Our favorite breed is Serama, not for homesteaders, but we enjoy them so much, cos they’re so such sweet, friendly pets.

Thank you for the great advise. I am from South Africa and have raised some buff orpingtons successfully. I would really like some wine dots, they sound lovely.

I had to put chicken wire all over the top of my dog's pen after he crawled out over the corners 4 times as soon as I turned my back. Lol after I tied the wire on the top, he never got out again! Lol

We have very laid back Lavender Orpingtons & Laid back Cinnamon Queens whic are good layers nice big brown eggs & we have Easter eggers which are ver good layers too,,,our Lavenders are dual purpose heavier breed...

I JUst Found My New FAvorite CHIcken CHAnnel, THAnks for the AWesome VIdeo.

Not a hybrid. Still 100% Gallus gallus.

"Literally watch a car as it runs over them" 😂😂😂 (The Jubilee English Orpington) My favorite breeds are my Ameraucanas and my Wyandottes also! We had the sweetest, smartest rooster that was a Wyandotte.
