My best advice is to find a breed that curls your toes. No amount of hard work, concessions, or compromise is too great when you find joy in looking at and appreciating your own birds. There is something immensely satisfying in seeing good birds get better and knowing you made the choices that made that happen. I admire and appreciate many breeds and most excellent examples of any breed, but none give me the warm expanding feeling in my chest and the smile that comes from my toes, through my stomach, and takes over my whole face when I look at my Campines. If you find a breed that affects you that way, you will not be so concerned with the secondary considerations not being just what you wanted. Case in point, I have always wanted a rainbow egg basket. I love the dark browns, olive, pink, blue green, tan and brown eggs displayed together in a basket on the counter. The only ones I didn't like were the plain old white eggs........... three guesses what color eggs the Campines lay.........
