What is the breed you wish you could find? What are your dream acquisitions for color/variety?

I agree with you about the lively Sussex, and had never heard of Owlbeards. They are stunning! Thanks for sharing!

What are those color phases called?

What are those color phases called?

The Owlbeards? Gold and silver spangled, and yellow white spangled. They also come in this interesting color called moorhead.

No, no ..... I mustn't. Sigh. One lifetime just isn't long enough, is it?

I would like:

Blue laced Barnevelder

BBS Ameraucana

Clean-legged Marans besides Cuckoo

Jubilee Orpington

Exchequer Leghorn

White Faverolles (instead of salmon), and I guess there is a blue and splashed laced Faverolles too which would be really cool looking!)

Autosexing OE & EE

There are some amazing birds out there. I'm just so boring - lol! I'm happy with "normal" breeds/varieties. Auntie's a wet blanket. A vanilla wet blanket.

Ha! Spoke too soon. I just found out that Greenfire Farms has recently imported some Owlbeards! I'm sure they are going to be outrageously expensive, but hopefully they prove to be a good backyard chicken and gain popularity. As a rare breed even in its own country, it would be good to grow the population.

Silver laced Barnevelders, I know a good breeder. I just haven't pulled the trigger. Shipped eggs are such a gamble.
Buff laced brahmas (or wyandottes)
Bob tailed cochins.
