Introduction

Howdy!!! Glad you finally made the jump!! Have fun and learn a bunch, makes for an awesome experience. What might you be looking for in a particular type of chicken?? Such research is half the fun!!!
I'm on a strong lean to Ameraucanas right now. Maybe LF AND bantams. I love the beards and body shape of the Ameraucanas. Plus the eggs are cool and they lay a good bit. Torn between that and getting a couple smaller breeds like D'uccles. I like the mille fleur! I do love looking at all the different unique birds and their characteristics though!
 
Hi! :frow Welcome to BYC! Quail sound like a lot of fun. I know what you mean about building coops being a hobby. My hobby is chickens...(Orpingtons :oops:) and consequently DH's hobby is building coops. Just finished a bachelor pad this weekend. :ya So glad you decided to join us. Are there any kinds of chickens you do like? Are you more into the smaller breeds?
Well I really like game fowl. Obviously not for illegal purposes. I really just like the look of the bird and the way they carry themselves. Also the were the first birds I was exposed to from as early as I can remember so I am a little biased Im sure. They are really loud though and I live in a subdivision. No rules or anything but I would feel like an ... I also like unique looking chickens, mostly the bearded breeds catch my eye.

I really hope you find the right chickens for you. Perhaps something in the Plymouth Rock family. Quail are great birds to have, so have fun with them! Maybe you will find some ducks you like soon!
Haha, I like to use my grandpa's saying about the first pair of duck I owned.
"I made two trips in one. The first, and the last" lol
I like to go to the lake and watch the ducks but I dont think Ill ever have any again

Have you also considered Faverolles?? They are bearded with beautiful coloring in both sexes, and are one of the few five toed breeds. Awesome dispositions and personalities!
