One of the most attractive aspects of poultry keeping as a hobby is the sheer diversity of breeds available; enthusiasts have an almost limitless choice of shapes, sizes and colours to pick from.

There are many important breed-related factors to be considered when choosing birds. It is vital that birds are matched to the facilities available, and that breed temperament is suited to the environment in which they are kept.
