Hey guys!! My birthday is coming up in about a month or two and im getting a few more chickens for my birthday but I have no clue what I want. I currently have white leghorns, buff laced polish, gold laced polish, light brown leghorn, and blue laced red wyandotte. I would love for yall to give me some of yall suggestions!!

When yall give me a suggestion can yall post a picture along with the name of the breed as well as a reason why you suggested it.​

Please give as many suggestions as you want bc I need some! Thanks

Well well, Happy Birthday to you! I would suggest you get a couple of Speckled Sussex. They are beautiful, friendly, curious and just lovely to be around. And/or Easter Eggers! Those blue eggs have an allure of their own. They are also friendly and gentle chickens. Have fun choosing!

I got Silver Duckwing Old English Game Bantams for one of my birthdays, and my last birthday I got New Hampshire Reds and Silkies.
The Bantams hatched their daughter, Lucy, and three standards. Then Lucy hatched five of the Silkies' chicks.

Happy Birthday!!! You have white & brown egg layers, so I would get a colored egg layer! An Easter Egger, Olive Egger, Cream Legbar, Ameraucana, etc. I just hatched some Ameraucanas, look at this little cutie!!!

I definitely agree that speckled sussex are a great chicken to have, and I also highly recommend Golden Comets (aka red sex link, cinnamon queens, etc) because they are gentle, polite, and fun! One breed I wouldn't get again is silver laced wyandotte simply because they seem so ornery and mean, but that is personal preference. Happy Birthday!

I always liked the looks of Sicilian Buttercups

Black copper Marans lay dark brown eggs.

Salmon Faverolles will lay tinted eggs.

Blue Ameraucanas are cute and will lay blue eggs.

Barnevelders have pretty double lacing and lay brown eggs.
