You've decided you want to raise chickens.
Now you have to determine the perfect breed of chicken. You'll do that by identifying what it is you want from your chickens.
Is it for the delicious, fresh, pure eggs? Is it for the meat? Or is it both? When people get interested in raising chickens, they are surprised to learn there are over 100 different varieties of chickens to choose from. They are grouped into 12 classes with nearly 60 breeds.
