Planning on something new? What breed are you planning to add to your flock? I haven't made up my mind yet but my short list, in no particular order of interesting candidates are:
1. Copper Marans
2. New Hampshire
3. Sussex-light or red
4. Langshan
The list has changed and evolved several times over the last few months, it started out a lot bigger but I have done more reading on some breeds and pulled several from the list. We have cold winters so a couple that I would like to have and are interested in just aren't practicle such as Ancona's, or personality and habits worry me like Buckeyes. Nothing to say before I act another breed could catch my eye. I like practical breeds, healthy, vigorous, calm and good flock members are big pluses in my book.
In the end it will probably come down to where I find quality birds will weight heavily on my decision.
Anyway whats on your wish list?
