If you could have one chicken breed that you don't own, what would it be?

Manx rumpy, Scott's dumpy. Most of the exotics I've been interested in I either have, have coming or had and didn't like
Same here....I read somewhere about soldiers using the dumpy's to protect the camps at night because they couldn't wander far with their little legs and would crow at anything odd. I laughed so hard that I've wanted them ever since. I've also read about the lethal gene that creates them, so not sure I'd enjoy them long term though.
And everything else I've wanted is a been there done that bird at this point.
 
OP, I had Ayam Cemanis and was over it in a year. Their eggs are smallish and their lay rate was lower than average. The only thing I miss is the reactions they'd get the first time a visitor saw them. People would use words like cool, wicked, evil, scary, sinister, etc.
Same. Mine were cool at first, but I got over them pretty quickly too. Also, the dust from them bathing tended to make them look dull and dirty more often than not, and the gray skin from the mixed breed offsprings that we butchered wasn’t very appetizing (tasted fine-looked weird).

Right now I’m looking for any attractive bird that lays attractive eggs.

EE mixes, they’re so pretty I get eggs everyday from mine !
