Chicken Breed Chart

ChickenCollage
So you're trying to decide what kind of chickens to get... do you want a good egg layer?  A specific size or color egg? A dual-purpose breed? Are you looking for docile chickens that your kids can handle?

I created the following chart which lists several commonly asked attributes of over 75 chicken breeds.  It is not a comprehensive list, but it should cover pretty much any chicken you might be thinking of keeping in your backyard.  It's highly sortable for ease of use.

Other resources for your research would be American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC), BackyardChickens.com, Hendersons Handy Dandy Chicken Chart, and Feathersite Chickens.  I created this chart from those resources (and others) using Martys Massive Chicken Breed spreadsheet as my springboard.

Am I hatching what you're researching?  Check here: | Hatch Log |
