June Hatch-A-Long

Just looking for opinions here, seeing what everyone likes

What breeds/varieties for chickens should I order next? (Probably getting them from ebay)

I'm thinking about starting another batch in a few weeks

What type of egg color do you want? What’s your purpose for the chickens?

One of my white local eggs was a quitter just now(clear tip on day18 but still movement, now it is just done, no veins and too much fluid), so I am just waiting on 16 eggs, (11 have pipped some zipping, 5 look like they will be later hatchers and one chick is out. (Thor)

You guys...

I have more Polish Deathlayers coming! They eggs are FINALLY fertile again. They might not even be Deathlayers though. Could be Millie Fleur since he’s Rico Suave now. He’s a real lady killer

I'm mostly just looking for ornamental birds (standards or bantams). Maybe birds that don't lay pure white eggs since my coworkers like having a few colors in the eggs they get from me

Cream legbars (blue eggs), Olive eggers (Olive eggs), Black Copper Maran (Dark chocolate eggs), Varred Rock (pink/cream), and Delaware (pink/cream eggs).

I’ve owned all these breeds and still have some. They’re all very good layers and have great temperaments.

I like Isbars for their blue feathers and minty/blue green eggs. I don't have any currently, I do have mixes with some isbar.

I like BCM eggs but I like to see the blue feathers more than black, they are pretty though so maybe blue copper Maran. I have AC not for egg laying, just they are pretty. Friendliest I have seen are SS if you want to be followed. LO have good coloring but tan eggs. LO's take their time laying. Not early layers.

Alright thanks

I'll post what I end up ordering

I got my last eggs from bella haga farms, if you look on face book or on Ebay. $30 for exactly 12, but she has some nice egg colors, and some mint green with white dots, one Mauve, I didn't get either one of those but she says if available she will send them. Take a look any way. I wanted mauve to create my own gray eggs, you need mauve to get that color.
