Making A Personal Choice With Poultry Breeds
Practical Poultry
|July - August 2017
Sarah-Jayne Bowers explains how a move to Fife infl uenced her choice of chicken breed
Over the years I have kept several breeds of chicken, starting in the Fens with a small flock of a Rhode Island Red X Light Sussex hybrid which were hardy enough to cope with a ‘Beginner Chicken Keeper’; through to more recently keeping a mixed flock of Barred Plymouth Rock, Welsummer and Ameraucana chickens, selected for the different egg colours, when living in Indiana, USA. With the regular employment-related house moves that I have undergone, the chickens were kept purely for interest/enjoyment and to produce eggs for home consumption, with no replacement breeding programme and new homes found for hens when I was unable to take them on our next move.
