Best Answer

Ornamental refers to the chickens use.

In this case, they are "ornamental". They are not suited for the purpose of meat, egglaying, or both (dual purpose). They are typically very beautiful and fancy, whether that mean feather-footed, crested, extra toes, muffs, beards, long tails, etc. Due to being bred for show, they are often finicky, frail, or otherwise "dainty" birds.

The breeds considered ornamental were once used for meat/eggs, but were continually bred for confirmation and not use - and such, lost their other qualities in favor of show ranking.
