Attention Poultry Breeders: Mother Earth News would like your opinions about poultry breeds. Whether your favorite is the Cubalaya, such as Jim Zook's shown here, or Rhode Island Red, all breeders are encouraged to particpate. The more opinions are expressed in this kind of survey, the more useful the results will be.
If you have several years experience raising chickens, you are invited to participate in a Mother Earth News survey to identify characteristics of various breeds of chickens. This information will help guide people in selecting breeds for their flocks. An article about the results will be published in the April/May 2010 issue of Mother Earth News magazine.
The new survey is designed to identify traits of various breeds and hybrids of chickens, such as egg-laying ability, temperament, potential for broodiness. The magazine would like you to share your opinions. At the end of the survey, you can see the current survey results (and get ideas about some breeds you might like to try yourself).
This survey will take 15 to 20 minutes to complete. To begin, here is a link to the survey:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=SYolTRFglww7kh64B7wuKQ_3d_3d You can also find it on the Mother EArth News Web site, http://www.motherearthnews.com/chicken-breeds-hybrids-survey.aspx
