5 Chicken breeds

Black Star: Black Star Sex-Link chickens are an excellent brown egg-laying breed. A Sex-Link chicken is a hybrid which, at the time of hatch, can be sexed by its color. 

Deleware Chicken: The Delaware is a breed of chicken originating in the U.S. state of Delaware. It was once of relative importance to the U.S. chicken industry, but today is critically endangered. It is primarily suited to meat production but also lays reasonably well.

Java: The Java is a breed of chicken originating in the United States. Despite the breed's name, a reference to the island of Java, it was developed in the U.S. from chickens of unknown Asian extraction. It is one of the oldest American chickens, forming the basis for many other breeds, but is critically endangered today.

Sussex:  The Sussex is a British breed of dual-purpose chicken, reared both for its meat and for its eggs. Eight colours are recognised for both standard-sized and bantam fowl. A breed association, the Sussex Breed Club, was organised in 1903.

Dorking: The Dorking is a British breed of domestic chicken. It is named after the town of Dorking, in Surrey in southern England.Chicken | bird | Britannica
