I have been thinking about them.

 

[MochaLatte]

Explanation, planning new coop, and it will be big enough to hold 20+ hens, and I have 3. Checking out possible breeds, and I have 11 so far!

How exciting! What does your list look like now?

 

[ILoveDaffy]

Silver laced Wyandotte, Golden laced Wyandotte, Lavender Orpington, Black Australorp, Polish, Brahma, Phoenix, Hamburg, Welsummer, Barnevelder, And Production Blue!

Mostly show breeds. I want to show. I have a Delaware (Panda), Buff Orp ( Dandelion, Dandy for short, or The Dand) and Easter Egger (Junebug, Buggy for short).

Those are beautiful breeds

Cute names for your 3 girls! Are they already laying?

 

[ILoveDaffy]

Panda and Dandy yes. Buggy isn't old enough yet. Lost Poppy a few months ago.

Oh my god her egg today was her biggest yet. 94g... I feel SO BAD FOR HER when she lays these monster eggs. I tried to set it up on the daily-eggie-shelf and it is just not working...View attachment 2855414

HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!! That is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Nuggets are still only 40-41G and Hummer is finally up to 44/45g (and hers seem "big" to me). Keep waiting to see if they will ever make it to a med size or stay in the small size eggs. LOL

Awwww, thanks! She is a Production Blue That first post picture of her is not flattering at all... I was just so excited about the first egg that I snapped a pic of her dust bathing and moved on (RUDE!). Here are better pics of her now... her comb grew so tall that it flopped over like a little French beret haha

she is so pretty! her comb is too funny! I keep looking at other breeds but then I am so partial to feathered legs/feet so have a hard time getting others, besides my EE for the pretty eggs. LOL

Nice breeds! I wanted a silver laced Wyandotte before I ordered mine but just love fluffy feet so got a silver laced cochin instead. LOL I had ordered a Hamburg but they didn't come in so I ended up getting a sicilian buttercup instead (who passed away at 9 weeks. ). And I just LOVE the looks of lavender Orpingtons I may have to add that to my list if the feed store near me has them next year! one that isn't too far did this year but I can't order from 2 places since I can't get that many chicks. LOL I can only add another 8 to my gang and I want to hatch some out and keep a couple of those so can only order about 6 (may get a couple extra JIC I get a roo again or any pass).

What Brahma are on your list? I have 2 light brahma's but have buff on my list for next year.
