We used to have them. When I was young we had mainly Black Orpingtons and White Leghorns but some Black and White Australorps for egg production commercially. We had around 10,000.

I did have a chicken until recently, she was 15 when she passed. She was a Wyandotte/Silkie cross.

There's only two of us in this household, so we have two chickens. They give us two eggs a day during the spring and summer which is absolutely perfect for our little family! Our hennies are cream legbars. They're quite comical - especially with their funny little crests that make them look like they've just had a fairly bad haircut.

I have two chooks at the moment - a bantam sussex and a pekin (I think they're called bantam cochin in the UK). Plan on getting more after I return from Wales back home to Aus, had to downsize my little flock for my trip away, but I want sooo many pekins when I come back. Such adorable fat little things. Regular (small) eggs from those two but they go broody at the drop of a hat..

some lovely chickens you have there.

We almost got a chicken today. We were visiting friends who have had a chick explosion. She told Master 4 that if he caught one he could keep it. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point of view, Master 4 was not successful in his chicken chick capturing escapades.

Oh, and anyone worried about us letting a 4 y/o chase the chickens around, don't worry. Her chickens are all free range and used to having her multiude of kids playing and running around their space.
