What breed should I get into breeding? POLL!

[ChloeSilkie08]

The crazy chicken lady is thinking of hatching again! I am already a silkie breeder (an avid one), but I still love my regular chickens as well. I've looked into getting a new roo and create a separate breeding pen for the new venture.

Options:
Black Copper Maran and Blue Copper Marans. I already have the maran roos and hens and wouldn't have to change anything in order to do this.
Easter Eggers. I would have to get a Easter Egger roo and 1 or 2 more hens AND have a separate coop.
Swedish Flower Hens. I would also have to get a roo and 1 or 2 more hens AND have a separate coop for this one as well.

Which one should I do if I end up doing this? I'm not totally committed yet but if I do what should I do?

Marans would be an easier start.

Marans would be an easier start.

That's true!

That's true!

EEs would be pretty easy too.

EEs would be pretty easy too.

And really pretty eggs as well!

But they aren’t a pure breed, EEs, so not something you could perfect or show.
I say Marans.

Poultry shows are starting to accept mixed breeds.

I'm doing it for complete fun. Nothing to show or perfect.

That's cool! I didn't know that!

If you want an Easter Egger roo, I have one to spare!
