What breeds? Debi (@PetRock) usually jumps in with a plug for Pita Pintas but they aren't an accepted show breed) 

A lot of people on the people on this list are of similar opinion.

There is not a l"ist" but many of the people on  this thread breed birds or know of them. Just ask

I fink know what breeds yet. I like the two polish I have but prob jus because they look so crazy. Not sure if they are very hardy. I like the Cochins but it gets so hot here in Stockton in the summer I don't know if they would survive. I keep my dogs in air conditioning but I am doing that with my chickens.

@Audio51 thank you I'm happy with it. Although I will use less eggs under her next time.
4 eggs were smothered/crushed while hatching and only one never broke out of the shell. 100 percent fertility tho. And my math was bad. 12 of 17. Bummer 3 that didn't make it were kelso but there are more 20 days out.

I'm sorry to tell you all that I lost my beautiful splash orpington hen, Willow, sometime between roost-check last night & 10am this morning. I found her on the floor of the coop under the roosts. The coop bedding was still warm underneath her. At first I thought she fell strangely & broke her neck in the fall but in checking her, I don't think so. She had shown no symptoms of any problems previously. I am totally at a loss.

Ron (@ronott1 ) was nice enough to provide me with the details of how to prepare/preserve her & where to drop her off at UC Davis. It was so simple & quick. I'll have results in 7-10 working days. I'm hoping it's unique to her as I have a coop full of littles that I hope to find new homes for.

The good news, though, is that I found 2 new peepers hatched in the incubator (OEGBs, crele x fawn). So tiny! One more egg to go due on Friday...

Good looking birds! I just rehomed this little guy yesterday to someone in Chico who was specifically looking for cockerels. He is about 8 weeks old.

Quote: Stockton doesn't get super cold in the winter so I would look for ones that are more heat tolerant. Lighter birds seem to fare better and the polish would certainly fit the bill, as would Ameraucanas, Easter Eggers. I am in Paradise and we get snow in winter and 100+ in the summer. I keep Ameraucanas, Black Copper Marans, Wyandottes, Olive Eggers and a few other breeds I can't think of right now and have had no temperature related problems with them.

They are adorable and fingers crossed for the ones due in 20 days!

Awww.......so sorry for the loss.

It is so hard to lose them at all but even worse when it is totally unexpected. I hope they are able to figure out what happened....
