There are many breeds of chicken worldwide. Pure bred chicken breeds number in the hundreds and the lists vary by country. Some breeds recognized by breeders in one country are not necessarily recognized in another county as "official".

Ameraucana

Brahma

Cochin

Dorking

Faverolles

These are five as requested but you can follow the "related links" below and see hundreds of other breeds.
