There is so many kinds of chickens- is there one that is different that you would like to try?

Have fun!
I forgot the Wyandottes, any color. I ordered a few blue laced reds myself for spring.

I'm still waiting to get a Sicilian Buttercup, hubby really wants one because he likes the little crown shaped comb.

For me, probably an Olive Egger as we don't have any green eggs, and I like opening the fridge and seeing a variety of colored eggs.

Is slow maturing a problem?

I know what agony waiting for the first egg is but as long as they keep coming once they start is there really a problem?

I haven't felt that way about them, but i also don't keep weekly/ monthly records, being lazy and distracted. Mary

I have a Sicilian Buttercup. She's the sweetest hen. She lays what I think is officially called a "tinted" egg but if you ask me it's the loveliest pale pink. Plus her feathers are soooo soft they're almost like fur.

An excellent choice if you ask me!

Probably not so good in Wyoming!

I would have gotten barnevelders, Sicilian buttercup, lavender orpingtons, cream legbars, appenzeller spitzhaubens, silver grey dorkings, splash marans, dark and light brahmas, and some black ameracaunas. I also really wanted some mille fleur d'uccle bantams. That's a lot of chickens sorry. I thought they were all gorgeous. Of course I would also have to get 2 more coops. I get a bit carried away, sorry about that.

I just got 4 Americanas, 3 Pearl Star Leghorns, 1 Back Australorp and 3 Isa Browns! They will be fantastic layers and really pretty birds.
Dream chickens include - Black Coopers Marans and Iowa Blues.

You forgot the Chanteclers, so maybe you aren't on the Cackle site? And how about French Marans, with those nice dark eggs? And Speckled Sussex, a personal favorite?
SO MANY CHOICES!
Mary

Agree on the Chanteclers. I've also been happy with the egg color from our Cackle cuckoo and wheaten Marans.
