Silver Spangled Hamburgs (Standard)
Golden, Silver, or Buff Laced Polish
Crevecoeurs
Sumatras
Egyptian Fayoumis
Thanks for your vote on my flock

I recently ordered from them, and I love my golden laced cochins, and my porc d'uccle. My sebrights are a little more skittish then the cochins. If I were to go back I would have ordered more d'uccles (also millie d'uccles.)

Cochins!!! D Uccles just my opinion

 

[substandardtim]

I want a whole flock of buff black and white orpintions.

I adore OEG Bantams,,,we have barred, crele and belgium quail.
DD is a fan of DUccle so we have mottled, porcelain and mille fleur

anything you pick will be fabulous!

If you buy that many every year-----how many do you have altogether? Are they allowed to live to a ripe old age?

This only my second year of doing this but we have 50-75 egg layers and last year I got 30 for showing but a raccoon got all my little baby show birds.

I'm sorry about your babies, that's terrible!!

I just love Cochins, "my fav" I have a nice variety of colors even some frizzles, Jersey Giants are nice , so are the Sumatras. I have a couple hens in both those breeds. I have 1 Porcelain I got from MM for my rare chick, I'm sure he's a roo and he seems a bit skittish moreso thatn some of the other breeds that I have.
