Just bought a few pullets from a guy. He sold all of his Ameraucana's right away (I got two Barred Rocks and on Leghorn). Seems to be that those cute eater eggers are the go-to for homesteaders. People love the blue/green eggs. Honestly, I'm a backyarder myself and I would love to have a few blue and green eggs in my haul every week.So, I've made no bones about being a show poultry guy (however one that values production very highly), but admittedly that sometimes puts me out of touch with the more local, mostly backyard/homesteading/pet chicken crowd...my question is, what breeds and varieties do y'all think are the most in demand when you remove the showroom from the equation? Why do you think that?
(No agenda here just hoping for some honest discussion, I have a lot of time to think lately with surgery recovery making it impossible to work normally.)
