I liked my SLW...but so did the predators...them seemed to be the easiest catch. Had a nice NH once, pleasant and good layer. I have always been intrigued with Buckeye, Delaware and Speckled Sussex...but never had any.
Aw that stinks! Sorry one of my Buff Orpingtons got taken by a hawk a little over a year ago, fall 2017, so I now only have two when I used to have three. They seem easier to catch too and kind of stupid, they tend to focus on a lot on eating so they get separated from the flock a lot, lose track of their location seems like. Definitely think I want a little bit of a brighter chicken as we have hawks, fox, coyote, raccoon, etc. That said, my current chickens have gotten smarter about hawks since losing their flockmate and having one attempted hawk attack when they were babies. They now alert, hide, and freeze for several minutes.
