What breed should I get into breeding? POLL!

Which of those breeds do you like to look at the most?

To be honest, it's VERY equal. I think I feel the most passionate about the EE's and Swedish but the Marans have a place in my heart that I can't ignore either. I already have 5 maran hens and 1 maran roo.

Ok, well, I must admit for me there are two more categories I consider when picking: 1) Do I like hanging out with them? I love to just sit near the chickens while the do chicken things. Many of you know what I am talking about . Call it the CCPFF or the Crazy Chicken Person Friend Factor. 2) Are their eggs likely to be cool. I’ve said this before but eggs are like treasure to me. I love to pick up and look at them. The dark browns are cool but so are the pristine whites. And come on, the greens and blues! I challenge you to find me anything finer than a well speckled egg! We get white speckles, dark and light brown speckles, and even lavendar speckles. Treasure made daily. . So, egg coolness is definitely a factor for me

One thing to consider is if you breed easter egger to Easter egger you run a higher chance of their offspring laying tan eggs. Breeding an Easter egger to a homozygous blue egg gene carrying chicken would result in all greens and blues.
