This post is a safe place to lay your egg

[homeofhousechickens]

I gave her a hair cut so admire her old style before you see the new one later lol

I also trimmed her feet and accidentally cut a blood feather and I still havent cleaned up all the blood that went everywhere. She didnt even care the whole time I was looking for the pliers to pull the feather lol she was very thankful for the trim so I dont think she cared either way

The rain made me run outside to put my birds up. Geez that rain is cold!

(Same but different by Vashti Bunyan starts playing softly in the background)

The Valdarnese bianca

Estimated total population size: 398 (Critically endangered) Annual egg production: 138 a year on average

Bred for free ranging and meat production, known for being rebellious and stubborn.

The White Leghorn

Estimated total population size: Billions.

Annual egg production: 280-320 a year on average

Bred for egg production, the most productive breed in the world. This comes at the cost of their lifespan.

It makes me sad how this breed this likely functionally extinct and that the reason for that is because of the leghorns popularity. If your Italian and your interested in chickens, maybe have a look around to see if you can help?

[homeofhousechickens]

Wait I thought Andalusians were from Spain not Italy

I should have said Mediterranean instead I always think of them as Italian for some reason due to the amount of breeders of them over there tbh

[homeofhousechickens]

I want to bond Beeper with the bantams so she can finally have some friends. She isnt pleased

Which chickens are considered landrace breeds?

Here is some landraces I can list off the top off my head but I have missed some as there are simply tons of landraces I dont know about.

Swedish Flower Hens

Swedish Hedemoras

Icelandic

Egyptian Fayoumis

Transylvania Naked Necks (the real ones not hatchery "turkens")

Hungarian Yellow Chickens

Araucanas

Sumatras

Hmong fowl

Serama

Kikiriki

Ayam Cemani

Azerbaijan Marandi

The Buckeye (in my opinion)

Danish Hen

Svarthona

Quechua

Sicilian Buttercup

Siciliana Coronata

Cornuta di Caltanissetta (the roosters have an awesome comb)

Madonie Nostrana

Norwegian Jaerhons

Olandsk Dwarf

Alho (and other varieties)

Leghorns and Andalusians were orginally landraces from Italy.

Navajero Peruano

Shetlands

Orust

I am probably forgetting some others but this should be a pretty comprehensive list for anyone who is interested in landraces

[homeofhousechickens]

Just want to show off the comb of the Cornuta di Caltanissetta

Gentically they have a V comb but theirs is a lot bigger then typical in some birds. The size seems to be variable.

realizing that the online sphere and especially tumblr is NOT a good sample for ‘what everyone thinks’ is so, so, so good for your mental health and moral OCD. i swear to god. realizing that you don’t have to live your actual life like you’re being hunted for sport because the average tumblr user will hunt you for sport for wording something slightly weird or engaging in the wrong stuff or whatever is so incredible. like no you’re actually not fucked up and evil for not donating or for watching that one indie cartoon or questioning a post that everybody is agreeing with. that’s just tumblrs georg making you feel that way

Ill be honest Terabyte is kinda ugly but I think that makes him more endearing. I am glad its easy to tell him apart from his brother though.
