Where does it say that? As beginners, how do we know what our favorite is until we try them all? Heehee I started my very first flock 10 months ago. And I got a varied mix on purpose. I wanted different egg colors and different feathering so I could easily tell who was laying what. I've purchased 11"Ameraucana/Easter Eggers," 1 Olive Egger, 4 Buckeye, 5 Buff Orpingtons, 1 black orp, 1 splash orp, 2 bantam Cochin, 2 Cochin/slw crosses, and 2 buff brahma. After losses and selling off all the roos, I'm down to a Silver Ameraucana roo, Buff Brahma roo, 5 Easter Egger pullets, 1 olive Egger pullet, 2 Buckeye pullets, 1 Buff Orp pullet, and 1 bantam Cochin pullet. 12 out of 29! But I get 1 olive, 1 green, 2 blue, 1 blue/green/gray/speckled/depending on the day, 1 cream bantam size, 1 regular size cream, and 3 slightly different brown eggs. All of them look distinctly different too! Even "the twins"(Buckeyes) have different leg colors. Now I have a chick order due next month with one to two of another 8 different breeds! Most of the new girls will lay brown eggs so I'm hoping that isn't too confusing. My husband expects that one day I'll find a breed that I love and want to seriously breed. Things would have to change at that point, but I'm wondering if I won't just want to keep my rainbow flock and rainbow egg basket indefinitely!
