Amber Star Hybrid chickens

These are Amber Star Hybrid chickens they are beautiful and good family pets.

Pros:

“Great layers, pretty docile, beautiful”

“Lays lots of eggs, great personality, not aggressive, hardy”

Cons:

“Sometimes almost to friendly!!!”

“these little guys can fly!”

 

The Amber Star chickens are good to be kept as pets. They can be very comfortable with people, though they can be flighty as well. Because they're flighty, they can get annoyed when people try to pick them up. To play with them is to run with them and watch them keep flying. It would seem as if their only goal is to fly off a fence.

Amber Stars are a superstar in egg-laying. At most, they can lay eggs for up to 300 a year. But they say that on the first year of egg-laying, this breed can lay eggs for up to 320 eggs. Some breeders have been able to witness extra large egg sizes that weighed in at 139g.

A hybrid chicken based from Rhode Island Red, the Amber Stars have soft feathering. Perfect in egg-laying, this breed is a good and worthy keep. Add to that its being playful and friendly, this breed would definitely be a chicken for keeps. 

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect

Ancona chickens

The Ancona is a breed of chicken which originated in the Marche region of Italy, but which was bred to its present type mainly in the United Kingdom in the 19th century. It is named after the city of Ancona, capital of the Marche. It is popular in Britain and the United States, but uncommon in Italy; an initiative to re-establish it in its native area and preserve its biodiversity was launched in 2000. There are also Ancona bantams.
The first Ancona chickens were imported into England in 1851, and selectively bred there for regularity and consistency of the white markings in the plumage. In 1880 a breeder named Cobb showed a group. Some birds were exported from Britain to the United States in 1888. Rose-combed Ancona chickens were first shown in Birmingham in 1910.
In the United States, the single-comb Ancona was recognised by the American Poultry Association in 1898, and the rose-comb bird in 1914.
The Ancona is a good layer of white eggs, of which it lays an average of 220 per year; the eggs weigh 50 g or more. Hens have little tendency to broodiness; pullets may begin to lay at 5 months. It is a typical Mediterranean breed, rustic, lively and hardy. Birds range widely and take flight easily.
The plumage of the Ancona is black mottled with white. Approximately one feather in three has a v-shaped white marking at the tip. All primaries, sickles and tail-feathers should have white tips. The black feathers may have a beetle green tint. In Italy, blue mottled with white is also recognised in full-size birds, but not in bantams. Australia recognises a Red variety, with a chestnut to red bay ground colour.
The legs are yellow mottled with black, the beak yellow with some black markings on the upper mandible, and the eye orange-red. The skin is yellow, the ear-lobes white or cream-coloured. The comb is of medium size, with five well-marked points; in hens it should fall gracefully to one side. In the United Kingdom and in the United States, but not in Italy, a rose comb is permitted.
Cocks weigh 2.5 to 2.8 kg (5.5 to 6.2 lb) and hens 1.8 to 2.1 kg (4.0 to 4.6 lb);ring sizes are 18 mm and 16 mm respectively for full-sized birds, and 13 mm and 11 mm for bantams.
