For my sons FHA project we helped raise several varieties, Black Astralops (they were show chickens), Phoenixes (gorgeous, but a hassle with the long tails) and a variety of the miniature feathery footed ones (don't remember the name) The astralops were my favorites for eggs, great producers! In fact the rooster was more like a pet and could be carried around, he loved the attention.

You can't be too careful with the pens though. Something was always trying to get the poor things. After 5 years of having them, we gave our remaining ones to the boy that lives behind us for his FHA project.

Check with your local schools FHA/Ag teacher, they should have contacts for the best healthy chickens.
