5 dream breeds?

Recommended Posts

I've just seen the pictures of a laced Barnvelder :shock: I WANT ONE! :lol:

 

I'd love a Bluebelle. Lemons orps look lovely too, as do blue orps. Lastly a light sussex.

 

 

Hmmmm I do have a cube... :think::lol:

 

This place has the orps and the sussex large fowl and bantams ;)http://www.powerpoultry.co.uk

 

Thanks Rhys, I had used your link earlier and that's where I saw the Barnvelder.

 

I have 3 hens at the moment and that's enough for now...will just be adding these to the "in the future" wish list :wink:

Haahha I think most peoples wish lists are massive I know mine is.

 

I saw the Barnevelder cock they use and can I just say he is a beautiful bird I was shocked when I saw him because I don't like them but if I could I ouldhave stolen ;)

I think my 5 would have to be:

 

1. Gold laced wyandotte

2. SIlver laced wyandotte

3. Buff Orpington (saw 2 at Tatton Park yesterday and immediately fell in love with them

4. Silver Laced Poland (saw one yesterday at TP too)

5. White Silkie

 

 

But if money and space was no object that list would undoubtedly grow and grow and grow .. :lol:

Wyandotte Bantams

Large Brahmas

Citron Sebrights

Gold Laced Orps

 

I keep all these but would also like some Lavender Orpington Bantams.

 

Do you get citron seabrights by breeding a gold to a silver ? :D

 

That is how they were originally created but the colour isn't exactly the same. It has been improved so it now breeds pure.

mine are

LF orps (check)

bantam polands (check)

 

and then

LF croads

creve-coeurs (either size)

LF brahmas

 

My problem is that although I have the spare housing and space for one or two more breeds, I like to free range my stock. My dream would be to have one large flock where the boys don't crow at each other, they don't fight, and they only mate with their own girls!

Brahmas

Transylvaninan Naked Neck

(Chamois poland) Frizzle

Modern Game Bantam

Barred Wyandotte Bantam

 

Already got the pekin, cream legbar and barred dotte (but all boys :roll::lol:) and araucana off my wish list

... and not a breed, but would love turkeys 8)

I was going to say I have everything I want, except for an Auracana, Oh, and a New Hampshire red , maybe a wyandotte and I'd love a pekin or two- but that wouldn't be a good idea,with all that broodiness it would be just too tempting to get more hatching eggs :lol: ( though I could hatch an Auracana and a NHR and a wyandotte :think::lol: )

In the unlikely event I'm ever allowed any more chooks, I would love the following

 

1. A bluebelle

2. A speckledy

3. A barred plymouth rock

4. A columbine/crested

5. A silkie (or several!)

6. A silver-laced wyandotte

 

OK, three of these are hybrids, but they are still lovely-looking chooks.
