If you like pea combs, I would recommend Buckeyes. A heftier, personable dual-purpose bird. Of course, the hatchery ones aren't as big. You can read the thread about them, it's featured.I've toyed with the idea of Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers together, and aim for a slightly heftier bird. Our weather is dry, but it gets pretty chilly at 7000 ft elevation in the winter, so I lean toward pea combs. Sounds like I'd have a project before I had a project!
