Chicken Breeds

The Chicken Breed Selector: UK Standardised Breeds

Chicken Breeds Pictures and Information. From the large fowl like Australorps or Orpingtons or maybe the smaller bantams like the Dutch, Belgian or Japanese, there's usually a breed of chicken that will tickle your fancy!

This page lists all 92 chicken breeds that are standardised in the British Poultry Standards and has a section for Hybrid crosses too.

Whilst Hybrids are technically not pure breeds, we have also included a section for Hybrid chickens such as the Black Rock due to their popularity.

This page has been a rather big project as you can imagine. Rupert and Tim have spent over 7 years visiting shows around the UK to get (most of) these breed photographs. We are now working on gathering photos for a page of breeds classified as AOV (Any Other Variety). These are extremely rare breeds that are not standardised by the Poultry Club of GB. 

If you appreciate the work we have done here, then please consider sharing this page thank you.
