If you are reading this, I assume you already know why you want to keep chickens. However, you may need reasons to convince those in your life that having backyard chickens is a good idea.
Here are some great reasons to keep chickens:
Chickens are great pets that dont only need a small amount of attention, but they are inexpensive and can provide benefits outside of just the relaxation of watching your flock peck and scratch around your yard.
Free-range chickens produce eggs that are healthier than their store bough counterparts. Free range eggs are also far higher in Omega-3 acids and Vitamin E and are lower in cholesterol than store-bought eggs. You know what has gone into making your eggs, and you will likely never have to buy supermarket eggs again. I find that fresh eggs from my own backyard are more flavorful, That is due to the nutritional rich diet that you feed your hens. Backyard eggs are fresher than store-bought. Supermarket eggs can be weeks old before they every arrive at the store. Plus, it is easy to confirm you have organic eggs, dont trust in labels. You know how your eggs were made, as you get to decide what to feed your chickens. I have been able to pay for the feed for my hens by selling extra eggs.
Chickens help in the garden. First by producing rich manure, and working your compost, but also because they till your soil as they peck and scratch as they feed on the garden pests that feed on your plants as well as ticks that feed on you.
Chickens have a wide range of personalities, colors, sizes, and shapes. I love sitting on my porch and watching my hens strut around in their communal pen. I find I can zone out and release the tension and stress of the workday as I get back to a slower and more natural life.
You dont need a 40 acre far to keep chickens. I live in a small suburban lot, with less than 1/3 acre. With a good pen and quality feed you can keep a small flock of chickens very satisfied and healthy with room to spare.
Before you select a chicken breed you need to know what it is you are looking for. Do you need a smaller chicken for a crowded urban lot, is your climate hot or cold? Do you want eggs or meat, if you want eggs, do you want white, brown, or colored? Do you want to raise chickens for show, or are you only interested in having them as pets?
Personally, I like heritage breeds that are proven to be hearty and easy to keep healthy. I also prefer dual purpose or egg layer breeds. A meat breed gets too big too fast, and doesnt typically lay a lot. But that is my opinion. You get what works for your needs.
Below are some chicken breeds that are best suited for beginner chicken keepers.
From Wikipedia
Australorp chickens are a great choice for any flock owner. They are dual-purpose (useful for both eggs and meat), friendly, and hail from Australia. The Australorp is an excellent layer and is healthy and hardy.
A single Australorp hen will lay about 250 brown eggs a year and are available in black, white, or blue. They are good foragers as well so they will eat bugs and weeds in your yard. They are a great choice for a new chicken raiser.
From Wikipedia
Brahma chickens are a large, calm, and hardy chicken breed. As an added benefit, they do well in cold and damp climates. They have feathered feet, and they lay about 150 brown eggs a year.
They were originally developed for meat production, so they grow fast. This chicken breed make excellent pets, and they are a popular breed in northern climates.
From Wikipedia
Delaware chickens are an excellent dual-purpose bird. They have a calm and friendly disposition. The breed is noted for rapid growth and fast feathering of the chicks. Hens grow to 6 pounds, and lay about 280 brown eggs a year. Their eggs are large and brown, but they are on the conservatory watch list as they are a rare breed.
From Wikipedia
Easter Egger chickens lay colorful green, blue, or pink eggs. They are not really a breed, but are a chicken that lays colored eggs and doesn't conform to breed standards for the Ameraucana or Araucana chicken breeds.
Easter Eggers are charming and colorful birds that vary widely in appearance, and they may have fluffy beards, ear muffs, or crests.
Colorful egg laying chickens generally lay fewer eggs than other breeds.
From Wikipedia
Jersey Giant chickens are huge! These blue, black, and white giants are the largest of the pure breeds. They are on the livestock conservatory watch list, so they make great birds to keep around to prevent extinction
Jersey Giants are dual purpose chickens, but because of their size they excel as a meat bird. The chicks grow relatively quickly but take time to fill out their hefty frame to produce a marketable bird. Generally it takes 89 months to reach a harvestable size. They are an excellent roasting bird when fully mature.
