You could breed silkies

Nope. I need a chicken that can chicken...at least. I grew out of my silkie phase pretty quickly, and brutally

On another note, I was greeted by this monstrosity in the 'regular' ducks' nest this morning:

It weighed in at 4.91 oz / 139 g! I feel so sorry for the poor girl that laid this!

My isabel leghorns were notorious for those eggs

My white leghorns had double yolkers very often

And polish are a no as well. All other breeds are welcome. My thing is mostly normal looking birds, that have one or two unique characteristics, and a good personality. That's what I'm trying to find

Hmmm, not sure. I had a Wyandotte cockerel that I simply adored last year. So much so I bought three chicks this year. I hear Cochin (standard size) are nice so far as personality, and they can double as a duster. In the smaller breeds, I love my OEGB, very friendly, easy to handle, BROODY, actually looks like a chicken but in tiny format.

I've been seeing a lot of Wyandotte here, so I'm definitely considering it. OEGB I haven't found any but it's a breed I'd like to keep, not sure about breeding. LF cochins I've heard don't do well in hot climates. I'm also finding a lot of brahma, australorp, BR, lakenvelder, marans and araucan

Brahma wouldn't do well in the heat either, I don't think. I'd like to get some, but they take a while to get to mature weight.

I'd send you OEGB eggs, but they probably wouldn't make it and even if they did you have no way of hatching them!

My Phoenix and Cornish bantams are my go too, but I don't think you have those avaliable

And the US version of the araucana. 3 of the 4 pullets (well technically hens in like a week) have gone broody

Phoenix are gorgeous, I just don't know how I'd keep that tail clean!
