5 Chicken Breeds To Keep At Home
There are 100s of species of chicken but from my personal experience I like 5 species which I give suggestion are best to keep at home if you are a chicken lover I mean likes to keep chickens as pet.
1.Asil chickens: They are originated in Pakistan. Asil further have sub species too. It doesn't matter which sub specie you choose like malay , shamo , kulangi etc. The Asils are very tall chickens specially the male can be more than 2 feets easily. I have a Asil rooster who was 3.5 feet tall. Their average weight for female is between 2-3.5 Kg and male 2.5-4.5 Kg. The female Asils are famous for their broody character as they have bigger bodies and can incubate 11-14 eggs at once easily. In some areas they (male Asils) are used for cock fight as they are strongest chicken specie and most aggressive too.
2.Broiler chicken: They grow at very rapid rate they may weigh more than 4 Kg in 2 months since birth. Their meat quality is excellent. They have just one aim in their life eat and eat and eat that's why they grow too fast I should say most rapid among all chicken species. They are not known for eggs and broody character they lack both this ability.
3.Golden Buff : They are small sized chickens weighs 1.5-2.5Kg avg they have feathers on their feet too most of the time. People keep it as they are beautiful. Females are very good to incubate eggs 8-10 eggs as they have alot of feather on this body which keeps the eggs very safe.
4.Rhode Island Red: These chicken originated in US. They are famous for meat and eggs. The are great egg layer so no broody character.
5.Fayoumi Chickens : They have two colours white and golden both doted with black for females and males can be of any colour, they are super egg layers no broody characters. Males can attack human. One of the best breed for medium sized egg.
