Oh, I wish I could add a couple .... I'd like:
Buckeye
Sussex (Speckled)
another Marans (have a Wheaten...love the dark eggs), Wheaten or other

and maybe a BLRW.....

and if I think about it for a minute I may come up with just a few more....

"GET ALL 4!!!"

I would like to but we have serious preditors ( UBER Raccoons, coyotes, hawks, eagles, and the occasional Mt Lion and bear. ) and I my runs need to be preditor proof. I keep my breeders seperate so thats a lot of new runs, and coups. No it will be one maybe two new breeds.

Lavendar Orps
Delawares
Java's
Jersey Giants

I have Black Jersey Giants and Delawares, I will get better quality birds but that doesn't count, its not new.

Oh, I didn't realize.
I keep all 26 different breeds of chickens I have together cause I can't afford that many coops and runs. (good thing cause I would have 10 of each breed

)
My favorite breed is Orpingtons, they come in MANY different colors.

I REALLY want a Lavender Orp, I have a Delaware, and a bantam Jersey Giant (which makes no sense, but that's apparently what I've got).

I'd love a Buckeye, a Speckled Sussex, and, I think, a Dark Brahma.

That's my wish list, anyway.

(I had a lavender bantam cochin, but just found her dead today, in the coop. Dunno why. I'm really sad about it. Not to hijack the thread, so no reply is needed.)

Yup I don't understand why breeders bred banty Jersey Giants either...

*serious voice* Wouldn't they be... Jersey midjets?

"I'd love a Buckeye, a Speckled Sussex, and, I think, a Dark Brahma."

I have light Brahma's and right now they are my prettiest birds. Yeah Sussex are real interesting. I honestly have my doubts that I am going to find New Hampshires I want, not hatchery stock. And I have a line on a couple of good sources of Sussex, I like the Lights, Buffs and Red's.

On my wish list would be Norwegian Jaerhons, Dorkings, Kraiekenkoppes (sp?), and bantam BLRWs splash only. I will never have the coop room to do that unless I got rid of some of my birds I have now...and that won't happen because I am seriously attached to every stinkin one. But its fun to dream anyways, isn't it?
