I said other; my very favorite breed is the Crevecoeur.
I love them so much because their name translates to "heartbreak" which I found interesting.
They also have little devil horns for a comb! They're just little edgy birds! lol.
I'm hoping I'll be able to get a Crevecoer rooster someday, somehow. I think "Gerard" would fit a roo pretty well!
I have a Crevecoeur! They're one of my favorites as well.

It only let me make so much options for the poll... otherwise I would of added it as a choice :)
 
Bantam cochin, ameracaunas (ees and ameracauna crosses too), barred rock and silkie. I absolutely love my bantam cochins and silkies, they have the best personalities and make great mother's. My BR hens have so much personality and are first to run up to you and talk. My ameracaunas are my favorite for the blue eggs, and crosses for different colors feathering wise as well as egg color
 
How did you get yours? I've only been able to find them as chicks at one hatchery. I know they're a pretty rare breed.
I actually got them it a gift. Not sure what hatchery..

Back in 2017, someone gifted us 5 chickens as a "joke". We ended up keeping them, and we said "if we're gonna have them, then we have to go full in".
So then we got 10 more, and started to build off and now we have about 50!
The 5 'pack' that he gave us was a rare pack (lakenvelder, crevecoeur, etc.) That's the only info we got.
He said it was from an online hatchery, just he didn't remember which..
Which hatchery did you get yours from?
 
I love English Orpingtons, they are the SUPER FLOOFS of the bird world. I also would like to add some polish birds to my flock in the future. I'm a sucker for the fancy birds, I know.
