Handy Urban Chicken Breed Selection Tool



Still cant decide what kind of chicken(s) to get in your flock? Help is on the way!

The folks over at My Pet Chicken have created a nifty little chicken breed selection tool that asks for your input and then presents you with recommended breeds that match what youre looking for.

The inputs are simple:
  • hardy in winter?
  • rare/unusual breed?
  • birds that will rear chicks?
  • egg color?
  • docile birds?
  • egg laying rate?
The results are great: youll get a thumbnail of each breed that matches your desires with a link through to the detail page on the particular breed (heres the page for our Plymouth Rocks).

Bonus: for each breed, they let you know which hatcheries have them available. (Of course, you can order small quantities of chicks directly from My Pet Chicken).

Thanks to the folks at MPC for such a clever and useful tool. I can only window shop at this point, but I think I might like to get an Australorp or maybe a Java or even a Wyandotte.

What kind of chick(s) are you going to get?
