Over time ive put together a small “chicken wish list” for some of the ornamental breeds I’ve got my eyes on. Some of them are not exactly considered ornamental, but in my eyes, are remarkable. Even the mixes! I make “breed lists” every year, for the annual batch of chicks. It’s always for a different reason, and my past lists have always been for breeds that could boost our flock, Calm Temperament, Good egg production, best egg colors, and some others. This year, I added to my flock for egg production, but I did not want heavy layers. Of course because of that, the breeds I chose were poor layers, and now my 3 and 2 year olds are slowing down. Next spring I’m adding to the flock again (If the Pandemic and post office situation allows) but I want Ornamental birds. More unreliable layers is much better than less reliable ones, it’s an excuse for more birds
So here are my top choices, what should I add? (the numbers beside the names are ranking them how much I like them)
