You want breeds that are as gentle as they are beautiful, especially with your wooded surroundings. Let’s explore some fabulous options that won't send you chickening out! Share your favorite breeds, and let's create the ultimate feathered dream team that thrives in your backyard paradise!
 | I’ve not had a flock for years (since last big avian flu flu outbreak in the uk) but after reading Arthur Parkinson’s brilliant Hen party, I have the bug again. I’ve had cream legbars (love), silver and blue laced Wyandottes, lavender araucanas, and a few hybrids (eg Bluebells, marans etc) but I will NOT do leghorns again. Throw me some harmonious combinations for a small (5-6) flock that can’t be too flighty- I have large trees and hedges and I back onto woodland- and tell me all about your favourite breeds and why they’d make good candidates!
