What breeds do you wish you had?

I want to try Sussexes next. Then Welsummers. Maybe Cream Legbars. Dorkings. Araucanas.

I can dream...

they are like pets because they are so friendly ...

Exactly!
Vulnerable to predation due to friendliness and diminished vision. And they don't lay well.

I have Nankin bantams ... teeny tiny red birds chock-full of personality .. and until this past Spring, I thought I was content with them. Enter Siri - a fluffy little Kindergarten Dropout (leftover from their classroom hatch) that was supposed to be a black Australorp. She's not. She's a large ... VERY large Jersey Giant. At three months, she already tops the scale at five pounds ... and I'm in love! She is absolutely the most mellow, laid back, sweet-natured bird I've ever met. And her top-color is absolutely gorgeous. She's jet black with an iridescent sheen of beetle-green. I have a sinking feeling that, come next year ... I'm gonna need another coop!

That's exactly why I want them. Big and gentle. Plus they are so pretty!

And for chickens I’m DYING for silkies, and white rocks, and golden laced Wyandotte’s, and and Easter Eggers.

I saw a blue-laced red Wyandotte hen at the Maryland State Fair, last week. Pictures do NOT do those birds justice. She was GORGEOUS!

Can chickens really do that? I bet some people would say "Its unsanitary!". Thanks!
