You do know it is April fools day, right?

Is anyone else worried that during a lockdown, Benny is making knives?

I am. I heard they are rioting in southern Italy.

If I couldn't channel all my creativity into my hobbies. Then really I had to worry .....

Probably Polish (and by extension - silkies, houdans and anything else with impaired vision). I free range all my birds and they have to be alert, aloof and avoid predators.
I probably wouldn't have Plymouth Rocks. I know barred are popular and I did have a few hens but White and Partridge Rocks are the only roosters that ever attacked me.
I might be unfairly prejudiced against Buttercups. They may be a nice breed but all the ones I got from Sand Hill had leg problems so I never got a chance to bring them to maturity.
The ones I really liked that stood out to me were Jaerhons, White Minorcas, Black Leghorns, White and Blue Jersey Giants. I loved the Welsummer (super dark eggs) but that was the only bird to die from heat here. There were other breeds that didn't stand out to me but that may just mean they didn't annoy me.
I see you are in Montana. If you don't mind white eggs, I highly recommend the Jaerhon. They mature very early, lay well and are extremely cold hardy and handle our heat as well.

We have similar taste in chickens.

I originally planned on doing Jaerhons as my principal breed. I ordered from Sandhill but they were never able to get my order filled. And every time I looked at Ideal (the only other hatchery that has them) they were sold out. So I ended up getting Icelandics, and I'm hooked. Sometimes I consider hunting down Jaerhons, but I don't want to mix my Icelandics with anything, and I'm not set up for maintaining breeds separately. So for now I am just working with them.
