Griffin Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My list changes almost daily and I have until the end of May to make up my mind what is going in the incubator next At the moment it's......... White LF NB Silkies Silver Grey Dorkings Those are the definites. I'm torn between..... Marans, probably Copper blues/blacks/splash Gold or Cream Legbars, seems good Gold Legbar eggs are as rare as hens teeth Black or Partridge Orps Speckled Sussex Blue laced or Partridge laced Wyandotte Partridge LF NB Silkies Decisions decisions......

Daphne Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 common sense tells me I can't expand into new breeds but I'd really like a blue partridge brahma L/F male (oh those trousers!!!) and I suppose I'd have to have some girls to go with him. The other breed I'd like to try are creve coeurs - they are French and like polands but bigger and a lovely bluey-grey. One day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I was really taken with buff Orpingtons the first time I saw them, and also like Barnevelders. However, as I don't want to breed from my birds I am just excited to see how my motley crew of mongrels turn out! So far one looks to be a lavender Araucana, and another has Welsummer traits, but the other three are Heinz 57 And they are all gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 well as speckled sussex lay a cream egg (so wernleas website says) I cannot have another cream egg layer, I have two already! so I am shortening my list! Wheaton Marans (like Fee's!) and An Araucana or Cream Legbar they will be my next two girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I forgot to mention, I'd love to have a Modern Game. There's just something about them. I first saw a photo a few months ago and ever since I've wanted one but I really don't think it'd be suited to my set-up. Weird legs.

I saw the article in the April edition of Practical Poultry and thought they were quite pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Somebody on here has one of those naked necks, but can't remember who. My wish list is: Maran - any sort Croad Langshan, so beautiful Sussex - any sort Kraienkoppe - eagles Dorking Norfolk Grey Plymouth Rock Welsummers Barnvelders Brahmas Araucanas Lavender Orpington Gold Laced Orpington What the heck, I am a sucker for any Orpingtons! Marsh Daisy - I like the name too! Wyandottes - any sort Faverolles - love those cheeks Vorwerks Rhode Island Reds Fayoumis Pekins Cochins Of course I would need a bigger garden and more cubes! Not forgetting a couple of alpacas to keep the foxes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I'll leave most of the bantams for my next life! Perhaps I'll just limit it to the ones that aren't flighty (that's most of the list gone already)! Edited to add - I would also have to come into a fortune - even if I bumped off my inlaws I probably wouldn't be able to have them all!
