You could start making your own breed!!! They r beautiful and if I could and was close enough I would get hatching eggs or chicks! You need to come up with a name.
 
Super excited about my batch of donated chickee's that are a colorful mix from a friend's henhouse! Her roo's are standard dark cornish x1, and blue-laced red wyandotte's x2. Her hens are a mixture of white rocks, EE, Red Stars, dark cornish, buff and black minorca, and orpingtons. So, it'll be fun to see what comes out of this hatch. We just put them in lockdown this morning, and I have 2 with eggs cracking/with a hole in one and pipping. This is my first time for hatching, and I hope it becomes an addiction!! Wish me best of luck friends ;-)

Ok, so I finished my hatch today. I had set 21. Had one real early (like day 5 early) blood ring, tossed that and had 20. All 20 made it to lockdown and all 20 hatched!!!! I ended up with 5 nns. 4 from my nn/ee hen and 1 from my silkie hen and nn roo. These are my new babies:
