Tossing rice at the end of the wedding is meant to symbolize rain, which is said to be a sign of prosperity, fertility and good fortune. In more recent years, bird seed has replaced rice because some folks believed that rice was bad for birds. You can still find evidence of this myth circulating on the internet today, when in fact, rice makes a good treat for chickens! #rice #chickens #chicken #ducks #geese #wildbirds #tossingrice #birdseed #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarmer #farm #farmer Chicken Eating, Canned Chicken, Chicken Rice, Chicken Coop, Chicken Treats, Spanish Rice, Good Sources Of Protein, Bird Seed, Hobby Farms

This is a Speckled Sussex. The Sussex is a British breed raised for both meat and eggs. They are a hardy bird, laying brown eggs through the coldest part of the winter. They are docile by nature and a bit curious. There are other colors of Sussex, but the speckled variety have feathers that give them some camouflage protection against predators. I enjoy having her in my flock and am glad to see her in a nesting almost everyday! #chickens #chickenbreeds #speckledsussex #poultry #brownegglayer Raising Farm Animals, Old Farm, Speckle, Flocking, Other Colors

Delaware chickens originated in the state of Delaware, by crossing Barred Plymouth Rock and New Hampshire Chickens. They are medium-sized, dual purpose birds who do well free-ranging or set up in a pen. They tolerate heat and do well in cold. The hens are good layers of large brown eggs and will go broody. This guy rules the flock and he is a great protector and provider. He is friendly, gets along well with people, and his flock...even the other roosters. #chickens #chickenbreeds #browneggs Chicken Egg Colors, Chicken Eggs, Delaware Chickens, Plymouth Rock, Livestock Farming, Broody

This is an Austra White, a cross between a Black Australorp rooster and a White Leghorn hen. The breed was developed in the early 1900’s. They take on characteristics of both breeds and are consistent layers of white eggs. They are considered good flyers, like to roost high, and are not really the broody type. A pretty bird with lots of character! #chickens #hens #austrawhite #chickenbeeds #egglayers #whiteegglayers #whitechickenswithblackspots #whitechickenbreeds #poultry #raisingchickens Laying Chickens Breeds, Best Egg Laying Chickens, Types Of Chickens, White Leghorns, White Hen, White Chicken Breeds, Black Australorp

This is a black Australorp, a breed which originated in Australia. They are a heavy, dual breed known for their dependable egg laying. Their plumage is an iridescent black which shimmers green and purple in the sunlight. They tolerate the cold better than heat. They are a sweet, docile bird. They do well in confinement, and get along well with other chickens.

The silver-laced Wyandotte is a beautiful bird. They are faithful layers of brown eggs. They are friendly, good-natured and calm. Their small combs make them a good choice for cold climates as they are not prone to frostbite. They are a larger hen and considered a dual purpose bird - good for eggs and meat. I enjoy having her in my flock. #chickenbreeds #chickens #backyardchickens #backyardpoultry #hen #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarmer #chickenfarmer #hens #silverlacedwyandotte #wyandotte Frostbite, Silver Lace, Wyandotte, Combs
