You are all loony! But polite!This is true! The Canadian 1 dollar coin, we do not have dollar bills - paper - anymore. We also have a $2 coin - no paper bills for $2 either.
We call the $1 coin a Loonie.
And the $2 coin is a Toonie...

in one way or another. But I've had at least one hen of every breed I've owned steal my heart! That said, my mixed breeds really steal my heart - the variations in colors, seeing them be brooded and hatched by mom.....etc, etc, etc...
When I win the lottery I will buy a holiday house for all to visit - someplace very warm and sunnyI'd love him Bob you and Alex for my neighboursI'm not greedy
Update: do you suppose we could squeeze RC in as well.
with lots of chickens! Maybe a few ponies too....
This was my beautiful “Canna” RIP dear one. I really miss that bird! But she’s in a better place now, and she’s with Bobs greatest Hen ever!
Hmmm wasn't so polite today when I sent an email about my well-site furnace not fixed last night when I got back to my room!You are all loony! But polite!
Oh she's a beauty! I love those brown feathers on her breast - so lovely!This was my beautiful “Canna” RIP dear one. I really miss that bird! But she’s in a better place now, and she’s with Bobs greatest Hen ever!
I just love them.
I whole-heartedly agree!
We say that here too. On the other hand, this is rather fitting here.Here in New England we say " Don't like the weather? Wait a minute, it'll change!"

... another enabler!At the risk of having to pay taxes......
How are you doing today, @Valenred and @TX Chick Noob ? I'm hoping Val has stabalized so not dizzy! and @TX Chick Noob is feeling okay with the pain meds after surgery to be hanging in there until the swelling goes down and it starts to heal/pain lessens naturally!
Worrisome Wendy Tax:
Some of my favorite chicken breeds....just because I've had them and they are self-sufficient, smart, and personable.

Dark Cornish (note, they are hard/close feathered, so they look smaller/lighter than they really are! (and, they still have enough of their natural instincts, these are the breed that regularly go broody for me!)

Buff Orpington: (They are very sweet and extra fluffy. Unfortunately, not the best fliers due to their heavy set bodies, so are extra worriesome regarding predators, but did I mention they are so sweet!
Brahmas
I've only had light, because of cost of chicks of other color variations, but LOVE @rural mouse 's Dark Brahman, and have always drooled over the Buff Brahmas. Talk about Gentle Giants. They are one of the heaviest/largest breeds I have owned, but are always at or near the bottom of the pecking order. And have to love their fluffy feathered footsies! My first Rooster was a light brahma (Sir Lancelot) what a sweet boy! I've loved Roosters ever since.

Last, but not least, are my Welsummers. I've had more than half of them be extremely bright/smart problem solvers - and they lay med. brown SPECKLED eggs. What's not to love? (I have one now that has a very large comb for a Welsummer. And, boy, is she smart...too smart for her britches if you ask me! I am beginning to suspect she is really part Brown leghorn based on what @BY Bob has said 'bout leghorn smarts!!!)

So, I do like all of my chickens, but these breeds have stolen my heart
Not just day-olds
