Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 there are so many to choose from I want a fave but I just can't decide. I'm looking at milliefleur sablepoots later (think I'll love them) maybe they will be my fave.. I have a silkie (which i love) but is only small. Might get some more of those. I'm not keen on lavendar. What is your favourite colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 What is a millifleur sablepot ? ( not sure of my spelling ) I thought you were asking about eglu colours , mine is lilac by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsin Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Aw it'd be a funny old world if we were all the same - I love lavender. I wanted a lavender pekin but can't find one (not relatively close to home anyway). Personally, I am less keen on red partridge-y coloured birds and the sort of randomly blotchy ones (not sure of the technical term for that!). I like white, silvery and lemony coloured chooks - I am quite a girlie girl though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 You cant beat a clearly marked black and white bird - Barred Wyandottes are obv my fave but Appenzellers and silver laced dottes all look good if they are well marked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Wheaton/salmon is my favourite. I love the way the different colours in the feathering blend together, minky pinky creamy honey sort of coloured. Our Poppy is a French Wheaton Marans cross, I've had Salmon Faverolles, attempted to have Wheaton Pekins but the ones that hatched are boys and today I have hopefully all girl FW Marans hatching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verity F Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Ooooh, you'll HAVE to have a millefleur sablepoot... or two... They are very pretty birds - the look like they have leopard spots. They're not fluffy the way Pekins are, bit more streamlined and upright. I was considering adding two sablepoots (amongst other things! ) because I really want a millefleur SOMETHING. The breeder I got my Pekins from didn't have much luck with her millefleur Pekins last year, and that was what I'd really wanted. The one thing I didn't want was a black one - which is exactly what I got instead! But she has the most beautiful beetle green sheen and she's now my princess. My lavender would be lovely - except she's more a mud-stained shade of grey, because she's always in the mud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Blue Buff, I think its a fab combination. I love the colouring on my Tegan, a Blue Buff Columbian Brahma Bantam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Our copper maran is beautifully coloured - black, with coppery neck feathers and a green sheen on the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Gold combinations are my favourite but I would love a slate grey/blue girl or lavendar. Anyone got any spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would say any light sussex coloured ones but I adore the barred and silver laced dottes (hopefully getting one of each in July).
