Do You Guys Have a "Dream Chicken" or "Dream Flock"?

[Disintegration]

A chicken that could talk! LOL!

That would be fun!

 

[Callender Girl]

A dream flock would include Cochin Bantams, both for their personality and their incredible cute factor, Speckled Sussex for pure friendliness, and Salmon Faverolles because they are funny and talkative. Throw in some blue egg layers and some that lay a deep brown (like my Maran and Welsummer), and I'm a happy camper.

Hey, I just realized I pretty well have my dream flock! Except, of course, there MUST be more breeds out there that I haven't yet discovered that I will absolutely need to have.

I would love to have a small flock of 6 Icelandic (also known as "Viking Chickens") some day. They come in a wide variety of colors and are an ancient and rare breed.

 

[DucksAreBest]

My dream flock is:
1 male and 2 female Crested Ducks.
1 male and 2 female Silver Welsh Harlequin Ducks.
1 male and 2 female Khaki Campbells Ducks.
1 male and 2 female Indian Runners Ducks.
1 male and 2 female Embden Geese.
1 male and 1 female Mute Swans.
1 male and 1 female Indian Peacocks.
1 male and 2 female Heritage Bronze Turkey.

My avatar- I am working on getting that lavender color back in her grand children.

My dream flock right now is an all bantam flock, I would want about 15-20 chickens, even though I wont be able to have that many for a while.

3 Golden Sebright
2 Buff Laced Polish
3 Old English game bantam
2 Barred Bantam Cochins
2 Easter Egger bantams
1 White Frizzled Cochin
3 Serama

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head, but I amy actually do more research if I decided to actually get all of these breeds. Someday I will get my perfect flock!

I have several of the breeds that I've desperately wanted but the list is still very long, but I'll share a few of the breeds that I really really want.
* Longcrower
* Showgirls
* Brabanter's
* Icelandic's (I see another post wanting these awesome birds!)
* Spitzhauben (I have 1 pullet but she's got to be a cross)
* Olandsk
* ANY breed *Lavender Mottled*

I'd like to add more birds of a few breeds I already have too.

Edited to add my waterfowl list that I dream of
* Calls
* Tufted Geese

 

[Araucana Nest]

My dream flock isn’t of a known breed right now but I’m starting with Welsummers for friendliness and speckled eggs, Araucana for blue eggs and a little wild serendipity, Lavender Orpington for broodiness and beauty, Isbar for curiousity and pleasant surprises in the nest box, and Cream Legbar for efficiency. It’s a flock with roosters that get along and love their companions (and me), the hens lay heavily speckled colorful eggs, are the epitome of good health and beauty and yes! They remember they are chickens and will build a nest to hatch out their own progeny. My dream property btw, has no snakes.
I have a few dream chickens right now. Hamilton, my mystery Roo is the best- gorgeous hunk of Roo, protective, a handsome provider and congenial with all. I also have Friendly, my Welsummer. She lays huge speckled eggs that belong in an art gallery. Janie, my Araucana who is the definition of loving sweetness. And Nimi, the Cream Legbar who is a leader and organizer and helps establish a peaceful community.

I’ll keep working with this dream for a long while.

Since I am ga-ga in love with Blue Australrops, I would like 6-7 hens and 1 rooster. That could actually happen in a couple years.

But by then, maybe I'll have different ideas of what a "dream flock" might be. Always learning, though.

Since we're talking dreams here so actual reality isn't a requirement, I'd LOVE a breed that hatches *eggs* that can be accurately visually sexed before incubation. That'd be a game changer!
