Hello, and welcome to BYC.

Thank you very much, sourland. You're a well-respected member - I've seen many of your posts.

Hello again, nice intro. You've picked some great looking breeds.
I hope things work out, so that your roosters can free range, but it's good to have an alternate plan in place.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is wonderful place to roost and explore.

Thank you for the welcome, PJ!

Thank you, janiedoe! It's not easy to find the breeds that one wants here. I've found that that the West of France has fewer foreign breeds than the North or East. I'm happy with choosing the Malines, but I couldn't get: North Holland Blues, Plymouth Rock, Niederrheiner, Amrock, or Bielefelder here (without travelling long distance to collect them).

Things always do work out, one way or another, and if you don't have a plan, you become part of someone else's plan, but on the other hand, if you do have a plan, things usually go wrong... nothing wrong with fence-sitting.

I see your point, but I'm a planner. Fence-sitting gets uncomfortable when you get older.

We're all getting older, janie!
... and anyway, it all depends on how wide the fence is.

Thanks!
Do you mean the Barbezieux, Germankennhuhn?
It wasn't long before I found that they're streetwise chicks, and great foragers. Although a little smaller, they're certainly putting the NHRs in their place.

Yes, That is the breed I mean, I need to get some!
