Those are some pretty chickens. I love the wide variety of body types and colors that are in chickens. There are so many breeds and colors. Surely the common chicken is in fact, an uncommon bird.

Wow, those are some flashy birds. Just curious but are they simply for show? Or are they a "purposed" bird for say eggs or meat? I ask because the body size looks rather "lacking" for meat. That may just be my narrow minded nationality asking/speaking, as here we seem to always lean towards "bigger is better"...

Impressive.

The first two look like 'game birds'.....very proud and upright.

What do they weigh?

Same here,Latestarter.....big,fat,heavy. However, the Old English Game and similar birds are skinny, sharp, bright-eyed (and originally bred for fighting, I think)

Here are a few of mine taken a few summers back....very dirty Border Collie fast asleep while two Brahma roosters crow extremely loudly. The Brahmas are very big (10lbs plus),can barely fly, and are late to mature (don't start egg laying until they are about 8 months old). They live for a long time, though, and are very friendly.....even with each other, hence several roosters.

Yes, this cock and these breeds beautiful and bear the toughest climatic conditions we have, and we develop the beauty and enter competitions. And by the number of color and many of the gradient.

These birds, used for competitions and also eat eggs from them and produce them too ..
We in this breed not only look for size, but also the body's coordination and color and feathers.

Very beautiful ..

We have Brahma of chicken and many colors.
Our weights do not exceed two kilos of Arab chicken and live for long periods of time and bear the weather

here are a few photos of some of the more unusual looking chickens I've owned. Mostly they are frizzles which is a feather mutation. The last pic is just because I like the pose.

@kuwaiti-90 what breed or breeds does your country use for meat chickens? Here in the U.S. there is a cross breed called Cornish Cross that is used for meat production. It is a white Cornish chicken crossed with a white Plymouth Rock. The chicks grow to slaughter size in 6 to 8 weeks. I have never raised these, but I think I am going to give them a try this spring.

People with the heavy breeds of egg layers generally just slaughter the excess roosters. I haven't bought a chicken to eat, at a store in 4 years.
