Looking for beautiful Breeds

[Allthefloofs]

I am in AZ and went for heat tolerant birds too, they are listed in my signature space. I am hatching some Tolbunt polish because they are glorious. I manage one flock with some not as heat tolerant girls, but my personal flock is all heat tolerant and they are mostly unusual breeds.

Hello, we have Pavlovskaya and Russian Orloff breeds, very beautiful and unique birds and very cold tolerant, we are so pleased to have them in our flock! We would definitely recommend you to get a couple of those!

Are they okay in 100+ degree weather though. I'm far more concerned with heat than cold

Yes, we are in NJ, so we have some 100+ days as well
In the past we had "overheat problems" with Cochin (due to tons of feathers) and Polish (due to thin and fragile body) breeds, the rest seem just fine - Wyandotte, Ameraucana, Vorwek, Ayam Cemany, Marans & Deathlayers.

Hi, what are their personalities like? I love created breeds and have had my eye on the Pavlosvskaya for a while now.

I'm trying to think of different breeds I want to get. I don't want just 'normal' birds (leghorns, orpingtons or australorps, normal birds like that.)

Wishlist:
-Heat tolerant! I'll be living in AZ in a few years and I can't have the A.c. in their barn XD
- cold tolerant too because we will be in the part if the state that gets a little below freezing at its coldest
-Broody wouldn't hurt, love my phoenixes going brood and just increasing themselves without my help
- Pretty. I want beautiful birds, with variety in colors and 'extras

Cochins! They are so sweet, so fluffy. And polish hens are unique, also sweet. I have both and they weathered the hottest Iowa summer on record!

You would love Icelandics, they are very cold hardy, beautiful birds that are fantastic foragers and do well in the heat. I am in Kelowna, BC and we get to 40 C here and my birds do very well. I just provide shade and lots of cold, fresh water for them and I do have insulated coops for winter as it can get down to -30 here (not every winter), plus I do have heat lamps when it is too cold.

Very friendly, very mellow and very beautiful breed, they are true eye candy in our flock!
I was surprised about Russian Orloff, they are like pets, they want cuddle and petted all the time, also the roos is very calm and preserve, with other roos he is like a "diplomat" never fight and never aggressive, just love them!

Those prices are ridiculous! I know you think you are missing out, but do not worry. Mosaics are only a mutt, and you could create some yourself by crossing Cemanis with barnyard chickens! While they won’t have the same name, they will be equally beautiful!

I don't find them to be that pretty to be $72 for a dozen eggs. Thats taking advantage of us chicken people. I don't even think they hatch them for you first lol... even if they hatch them and hand-deliver them to me and we're guaranteed all females it's still a cockle doodle don't hahah
