NW Oregon Chicken Convert

Yes, this is true. However, since we have 3 in our family, the deal is that each person gets to pick a breed and I get to pick the 4th (because guess who'll be doing most of the grunt work? lol).

The breeds we're considering (and that will be available to choose from) are Americaunas (or so they say, but they're probably Easter Eggers), Black Australorps, Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, and my daughter really has her heart set on a Rhode Island Red. There are more breeds available, but from what we've read we seem to gravitate to these breeds.

Ah gotcha. You should have quite the variety in egg colors!
