I have always wanted chickens. I don’t know how to look after them; it would definitely be a learning experience. Of all the chickens I see images of, there are two that really appeal.
One is Rhode Island Reds
The other is called a Sicilian Buttercup.
Then I discovered the Buff Orpington .
The Barred Plymouth Rock
And the adorable Frizzle.
While I like the appearance of all the chickens, my reading so far indicates they are also good tempered birds and easily handled. Usually. There is always the possibility of getting a grumpy chicken.
How lovely to let the girls wander around eating slugs!
I think I will need this book.
We love our Rhode Island Reds all 10 have good temperments.
Thanks for sharing that. I have heard they are great. Do you think my apartment manager will let me have one? LOL
Dont think they will do well in an apartment. Our like to forage and you need space and grass for that
Hopefully someday you will have the land for them 
I hope so too.
