It’s chicken breeding season, so we recently chatted with Mitchell on how he goes about raising his next generation of competition birds.

I’m not sure what actually drew me in to wanting to breed Pekins, I think it was to do with just how uniquely different they are to other soft feather fowl. They are a breed that doesn’t come in both standard or Bantam like other breeds,
I first became interested in chickens when my Nan bought some wyandottes and sussex. I would spend a lot of time helping her in the pens and that’s when she let me have a pen of my own so I chose to have pekin bantams.
