I bet they are
I think white feathers are pretty, but I'd love to have more kinds in my little collection.
I do hope to have chickens sometime in the future, I have my eye on a few really pretty breeds. So maybe I'll get a chance to steal a few feathers that they drop

Highly recommend Cornish bantams. Honestly probably even beat my pheonixes (barely though) in terms of favorite breed

Oh they are super pretty birds, will definitely look into them when the time comes

Debating getting muscovies. I really, really want to. They're something I can work on in my flock, and theoretically could take them with me when I move. Just.... haven't decided yet

Oh musovies are at the top of my list, they're gorgeous aren't they?
My plan is to move/get more land within the next year or two. By that point I'll be getting a couple more ducks, probably a couple welshies or pekins, whichever are around needing new homes- and I really want some musovies
. Then somewhere down the line, chickens. Which will be a shared responsibility/adventure with my mum. She's always wanted some hens.

I can't wait to build my flock.

What birds do you currently have?

Just chickens and a quartet of ancient coturnix. Had ducks several years ago, but a dog killed them all unfortunately. Used to have a turkey too, but he was a BBW and was over 3 when he ended up going.

Current plan is to maybe get 8 muscovies and 4 runners (all st run unfortunately). The runners are small enough that if I happen to get all girls, they could probably end up going with a chicken group (or their own pen if I ended up with just one boy). But I'm debating getting pekins instead (I loved my girl, she was awesome) incase I don't get enough/any muscovy females since I'd imagine that they'll be close enough in size it would be okay, even if they didn't make fertile offspring

Ducks are a lot of fun, it's a shame you lost your last flock! I'm sorry for your losses.
I wish you the best of luck with your plan! Either runners or pekins sound great, both breeds are pretty good

Yeah, I loved my ducks. My Pekin gal won best female duck a few times. I missed them.

Sounds like a very special duck!
Even though I'll expand my flock, my Dougie and Sprightly will always be my favourites. I guess some birds just end up having a special place in your heart
