Hey all....I'm the WA thread killer today, so though I'd see if any Oregonians are on before I go posting my big long dillema.....

 

[Xtina]

I'm on! For a bit, anyway.

Thanks.

I think I've made a decision, but I'll post it anyway.

I am thinking of selling off my LF Ameraucana flock in favor of working on a LF BBS Faverolles flock....just trying to decide for sure...getting opinions.

Pros:

I already have the birds I need to get started on the project
Faverolles are by far my favorite breed
Nobody else is really working on them....

Cons:

It'll be a LOOOOONG project
I don't have room for another LF coop, so the Ams will have to go (I'll still have my bantam Ams though)

I think that would be a hard choice. It sounds like you really want to stick with the Favs and you do such a good job with them anyways. I say go for it

I think the Pros have it! Good luck to you. I've just ordered eggs of 2 new breeds for me. I'm getting Lemon Cuckoo Orps and Dark Brahmas. Well, I have a pretty Dark Brahma pullet that has decided to set on some of my Splash Marans eggs. I had two DB roosters but I'm very embarrassed to say, I didn't realize my DB pullet was the same breed so I gave them away. I had purchased a bunch of day old banties at about the same time I hatched out purchased eggs. When everybody grew up, I had lost track of who was who. That's a silly newbie for ya!

And coop space?? I guess that should be a consideration..... I'll have to ponder that one before I order any more eggs! Or chicks..... or.....

Thanks all for the input!!

I think I already have the whole flock spoken for!!
