Sorry to hear of your losses, that's never easy. Best of luck to you, it's nice to have you here!

Welcome to BYC. I hope you are enjoying the website! Dual purpose, show-able, and bearded really narrows it down. Salmon Faverolles are your best bet, but purebred Ameraucanas also fit the bill. The hybrid between them, Faveaucanas, can't be shown as far as I know but might be something to consider anyway. The only other bearded dual purpose breeds I can think of are Orloffs, Houdans, and Crevecouers.

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

So sorry you lost your birds I'd suggest investing in 1/2" hardware cloth to make your coop stronger.

Welcome to BYC = stick with what you like - Faverolles.

Yes I think I am

So do the dogs have access to your backyard? Anyway, hope you are enjoying the site!

Yes I'm on an acre and it's all open. But the new chicken coop is super enforced. Nothing is getting in now
