What Breed(s) Do You Wish You Had?

So many good breeds, everyone! :)
If I had the space, I'd have over 30...

As is, I really want both LF and Bantam Sultans, LF Ameraucana, LF Araucana, Colloncas, Cherry Eggers, FBCM.... Oh boy this could go on for days :love
 
Every bantam breed in existence.

But if I really had to pick...lavender d'Uccle, mahogany old english, blue mille fleur (which is pretty much golden neck d'uccle- since most people get shipped that anyway), dark brahma, light and buff brahma. Mottled Cochins, mottled japanese, silver penciled cochin, splash cochins and splash OEGB, cream buttercup OEGB..blue golden wheaten OEGB, blue red OEGB, porcelain d'Uccle, sultan, RIR,

Those are in bantam, I know I forgot many...

and in standard, Egyptian Fayoumi, Silver Spangled Hamburg, Buff laced Polish, Tolbunt Polish, Hedemora.

But if I really REALLY had to choose, probably serama because they're tiny and I can pretend they're not a chicken so I can keep 2.
 
Meds are very productive, thrifty, great foragers, predator wary, heat tolerant, and most breeds are threatened.
I love my Anconas. (The heat tolerance is kind of a downside here though. So I don't own any other Mediterranean breeds, other than a Buttercup bantam someone traded for one of my chicks. Long story.)

I needed some more large brown egg laying hens this year. I got 5 RSL. A mix of Golden Comets and ISA browns. Big difference, I know.
I want any landrace breeds, but I am not going to get any this year. Aside from the eggs I hatch from my egyptian fayoumi, those will just be mixed breed birds though.
