When you are looking to raise chickens you should know that there are over 250 different types of chicken breeds. Most all breeds of chickens fall under one of three main categories.
Commercial breeds are the first of the three categories. White leghorns are a very popular breed of commercial chicken. This type of chicken is extremely well known for its egg laying ability. This type of chicken will consume less food and are generally smaller in size then a lot of other breeds of chickens.
They should be raised by people that are looking mainly for an egg layer and not a chicken that produces a lot of meat. You will find that most all commercial breeds of chickens will fall into one of two different categories. They will either be egg layers or they will be a good meat producer. Although there are a select few commercial breeds that are good producers of both eggs and meat like a Rhode Island Red.
The next in the three main categories is the Hybrid chicken. Hybrid chickens are a combination of two different breeds of chickens. You will generally see that a hybrid chicken will be much more productive then a single breed chicken. You will find that a hybrid chicken will be able to lay anywhere from 250-300 eggs in favorable conditions each year.
The last of the three major categories that most chickens fall under is the local breed of chicken. Local breeds of chicken you will find to be much less expensive to keep on your property then a hybrid or commercial chicken. One reason that they are less expensive to keep over a hybrid variety is that they require less care. Most local breeds of chickens are much less susceptible to disease and are basically a much hardier version of chicken.
A local breed of chicken will likely be smaller in weight then other types of chickens and will also likely lay smaller eggs. Most all local chickens make better use of waste materials then other chicken breeds which makes them very useful for keeping around the house.
These are just a few of the types of chickens that you should keep in mind when you are looking to raise chickens on your property. You need to decide for yourself what requirements that a chicken breed and type will need to meet in order for you to get what you need out of raising it.
