If you were told you could only raise ONE breed, what would it be?

i would say red sex links/red stars. they lay everyday and well sized eggs

i love they way they look and i can pick them up and pet them also.

BBS Orps! Good layers and pretty to look at- can eat them too if you want to.

EE's in LF or Bantam for our long cold climate/seasons.

Edit a few days later... or Wyandottes, all colors, bantam - at least that is the BIG PLAN but I can't give up my EE's either

 

[sandypaws]

that is a hard question.. i really dont care about egg production, i dont eat or sell allot of eggs..
i like so many breeds.. as a kid i loved the blue andelusians.. but now,, i love my blue cochins!! they are just so calm and beautiful...
also,, i am really liking my cuckoo marans.. the rooster is just so big and easy going.. he is bigger than my cochin rooster..
and i love banties.. their additudes, color, broodiness, ect....
love the americaunnas because of the colorful eggs and so many different colors they come in..
i would also like to be part of saving a breed that is Xtreamly rare ..

so hard to decide..

Dark Cornish

(but I'd take my geese over any chicken)

Just one? Barred Plymouth Rocks. Orpingtons come in a close second.

 

[SunAngel]

Standard: Cochins

My Buff consistently lays, is a sweet ball of fluff, doesn't mind being held and I love the feathered feet. I have tossed around the idea of selling all my chickens and just getting all the various colors of Cochins. EE's are a close second.

Bantam: Definitely Mille Fleur d'Uccles.

Mine are still young (3 months) but they are so adorable and sweet, I would love a whole flock of them.

You guys need to meet my australorps. Rosanne Rosannadana walks around talking to herself and anyone else that will listen. Sweetums will come at me claw and beak anytime she thinks I am not paying attention.​
