What is your favorite breed!?
I am going to start breeding one of these breeds. Out of these choices what one would you want to see me breeding?

Hi there.

Out of the ones you listed Rocks. But Easter Eggers are fun... and my very favorite is between Marans and Speckled Sussex.

Maybe another choice for "other" would be good.

Marans, and Americuanas for sure



EDIT: wait whaaa? oh.. lemme say... Orpingtons

 

[~cochinlover~]

Okay! Thank you! More answers would be great!!!

Ah, I've never had cuckoo, that's a variety not the breed. Just for fun and informational purposes... Marans is always said with S at the end whether singular or plural because they hail from the French port town of Marans.

Have you seen these comparison charts already...

Mine is the Partridge Plymouth Rock. Beautiful birds that are really exciting to breed with all the different coloring things to take care of

Show Quality Rhode Island Reds are very nice. They are pretty and not at all like hatchery versions.

I hatched some but could not keep them
