"Some people choose their chickens because they like the look of the breed. Dominiques and Lace Wyandotte’s are black, or dark grey, with speckles of white. They make nice fat birds, and Rhode Island Reds and Production Reds remind you of the big fat hens on the Disney version of Robin Hood. Bantam breeds are miniature versions of the original sized breeds so people who want smaller birds often choose the 'banties'. Some people choose their birds because they are exotic looking. Silkies have a puff of feathers on top of their heads that make them appear like they are wearing a hat."
