to look forward for a small Bantam chicken the rare summer Bantam is one of the best egg laying chickens because it lays extremely large eggs for such a small bird the eggs are brown and are laid in good numbers so there will be no point in not putting bersama bantams in my top five also the color patterns of this breed are absolutely beautiful close to those of the wide red jungle fowl [Music] [Music] - sometime a chicken is the oldest dual-purpose chicken breed from Germany it's definitely a heavy breed always seen with the black Columbian patterns which means there are black stripes on its neck and also some black feathers on the wings and at the tail unfortunately some timers are a rare breed now and close to extinction maybe that's because there are too many similarities with other more popular chicken breeds such as the Sussex or the Brahma I will be very sad if it will ever get lost because these birds are dressed well and friendly from the beginning of the live song the young chicks are fast growing very healthy because of its federate lacks the sun damage you can need to run which isn't too full of mutagen third keep it clean and you will have a wonderful chicken

indeed they look very familiar to the brown eclairs but to have more beautiful color shades especially the golden hackle feathers are shimmering in the wonderful golden color there should be no need to say that the New Hampshire is an axial intact layer because otherwise it would not have been an ancestor of the brewery industry chickens [Music] the first place goes to a member of the big lacan family the exchequer Dacron Exchequer electrons are amazing birth looking a little bit like a federal checkerboard with dual acts maybe that's where they get the name from as it is the case with most members of the lacan family hands and roosters to have enormous red comes which are also eye catchers but why did I put these birds on my number one because they are reliable egg layers laying nearly as much acts as the famous white lagoons but are much stronger and healthier than toast breeders also say that the exchequer hands are still laying a good number of eggs in their third year of the life what an amazing chicken and my king of all the self-sufficient poetry what is very unusual for the ejaculation is the fact that in this case the white pattern should outweigh the black one Adebayor chicken breeds should have more black than white [Music] [Music] thank you for watching this and all the best wishes for you in your poetry and don't forget to subscribe [Music]
