What Breed (for Christmas)

[AtRendeAcres]

I know there are a lot of people out there getting chickens (or the money for chickens or eggs) for Christmas so,

What breed are you getting?
why or what lead you to get this breed?

I

my chickens! & I often talk about them ((anyone else with me on that one))

anyway mother inlaw gave me money that I had to use for Chickens (nothing else I couldn't use for food or anything else)

Breed: White Orpingtons
Why: People seem to really love their Orpingtons!
(kinda like I feel about my Brahmas)
I have hatch some but, never had more than 2 at a time
So, I wanted to give them a try!
why white? they will look nice with Light Brahmas!

Congratulations

I am planning on splash silkies, but its too cold in Mass for them for christmas. I am getting the incubator for christmas and soon to follow will be some silkie eggs.
What a great hobby

I am getting myself RIR, BO, Sex link and Brahams for ME for christmas.
I want friendly, good reliable egg layers for my backyard.

Getting some show-quality standard Barred Rocks.
They were one of the first breeds I ever had.
Would love some good quality RIRs..but I'm afraid I just can't handle the memories they'd bring back.
10 of the barred rocks...THIS WEEKEND! OMG!

For Christmas I asked for a bigger incubator.

The one I have now is too small, and the bottom tray is half eaten (my chickens must love styrofoam....

)

I am allowed getting some quality silkie stock in the spring! Any color I want to work with!

I'm getting some silkie chicks, if my friend's hatch goes well. I have some pekin ducks in the bator, with more pekins and cayugas on the way. I will be putting jumbo quail eggs in the bator tomorrow. I haven't had much luck hatching chicken eggs since it started getting colder, so I'm waiting till spring for more chickens. If I trusted my bator enough, though, I would probably get some BBS OEGB, so I could get a good roo by springtime!

I got on a list to get blue cochins in the spring. I have bantam cochin and silkie eggs in the bator due to hatch on New Years day.
