Prettiest chicken breeds and plumage color

[Beau plus penny]

So we are getting chicks again in January and I want some really pretty birds what breeds and specific colorings are the prettiest in your opinion. I know we are already getting blue cochins

Check out double laced Barnevelders for beauty, but I think they are slow to lay. I don't have any ... yet.

Do you have any chickens right now and if so what breeds?

Barnevelders have some gorgeous feathers. If you want birds with funky hair, Cackle has appenzeller spitzhaubens with the most weird little hairdo, their coloring is also gorgeous. Speckled sussex and/or jubilee orpingtons for those colors.

IMO it would be chocolate laced bantam polish

We get oura from Murray mcmurray bc we are live in Iowa.

Our hatch doesn't sell barbevelders unfortunately. And we don't ever have chicks shipped

I'm a sucker for anything blue or laced but it sounds like you already have those in your flock. If you're looking for more diversity, I think I'd get some Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas. They come in so many fun feather patterns and have cute puffy faces. The colored eggs are also a plus. I also think you should get something barred or black. Plymouth Rocks are a favorite of mine and Marans will give you some nice dark eggs. Bielefelders, Welsummers, or Legbars would also make great additions to your flock.

I just want ones that will make pretty babies
I also really love splash chickens
I want a really pretty and handsome roo I have a wyandotte rooster bur I think I can do better I might let him and my speckled sussex hatch babies bc I've seen photos of offspring of those 2 breeds and they looked pretty.
