Ok so I have been on the hunt for some rarer, unique birds now and this is what I have came up with locally. (I will probably go to a poultry show in the near future)
So..the bl Polish look really pretty but heard they can be spooky..? These are supposedly show quality as she has shown them in shows/fairs and they aren't cheap. They are not what I was looking for originally ( Marans, Welsummers, BLR Wyandottes..etc) but my hubby said he would love to have a chicken with top hats...also anything less than the standard around this area are really hard to come by. Will I regret it if I don't get them? She is moving and selling a lot of her flock over the weekend.
Oh and she says she has 1 cuckoo maran cockeral that is really sweet. Was thinking of getting him- she has no pullets nor hens. I want both to create my own flock of them eventually or atleast an olive egg.
