better and easier to keep as a pet chicken?
Buff Orpington, Black Rock Sexlink prescribed standard Armeraucana Banti Partridge Cochin Assorted Crested Polish-store to get baby chicks, and I wondered what was the easiest to maintain. and, save where, what type of home? we a warren of old? or does it need a hot spot? thanks!
When you first get the chicks are going to need a heated brooder area for 4 weeks. After they have their feathers can be removed by heat. The house does not have to be complicated, as long as they can get out of the weather. Of the breeds listed orpingtons buff my experience are easier to meet than black sex links and ameraucana. Partridge rocks are said to be an easy race to maintain. I can not say anything about cochins or crested. Black Sex Links and rock partridge are the most productive layers of the races you listed. Roosters are mostly kept for fun as living lawn ornaments. There are so many breeds of bantams that there is no universal answer to how easy it is to maintain. For a lot of good information you should get the book Storey's Guide to raising poultry.
