What breed are you most excited to add this year?

We brought eight Barred Plymouth Rock pullets home on Monday.

I'm excited for all of them (Buff Orpington, Easter Egger, Buckeye), but I think Buckeye takes the cake! The breed has a cool history and they seem like exactly what I am looking for from the description: cold hardy, predator-aware, friendly, decent egg-layer, beautiful plumage. Also, I'm from Ohio, about an hour from where the breed originated. I have heard they sometimes hunt mice, which would certainly be a useful and entertaining bonus.

They are amazing got my 4 girls 4 years ago sweet middle of the pecking order and the best mousers I have ever seen. Awesome forages and they know how to avoid predators too.LOVE MY BUCKEYES!

So great to hear!!! I actually got my chicks on Monday and the Buckeye is both sweet and curious. I'm excited to see how she is as an adult!
