What is your dream chicken breed?

[ChloeSilkie08]

I want to know what your dream chicken breed is? Whether it actually exists or not doesn't matter! Mine is a Silkie Easter Egger that lays easter egger eggs. I have one from My Pet Chicken but she doesn't lay colored eggs. I also dream of Wheaten Ameraucanas, Salmon Faverolles, and Bantam Easter Eggers! Can't wait to hear your responses!

I want a bird that

is predator averse
flies well
forages
lays eggs well
lays eggs in a nest box!
& blends into the wilderness while also being pretty

My dream chicken is healthy, friendly, smart, clean, productive egg layer, and a good flock member.

What more could I ask for? Oh yeah... Lavender... or blue...

A sweet, snuggly chicken that is almost like a dog personality wise, but that also makes me laugh. That has lots of fluffy feathers and lays a diffrent colored egg every day ( any color of the rainbow) and the yolk is that same color as the egg shell (and has good production). Also, has a soft fluffy crest, but not one that covers their eyes.

My Dream breed would be one I make myself!Haha! I just LOVE experimenting with different color patterns in chickens and I recently got a bunch of different breeds to play around with,just to see what kind of pretty unique mixes I get. I love variety too much to settle on any one feature.So long as they have Normal feathers(no Silkie or Frizzle nonsense),no Bantams,feathered legs,or god forbid poodle chickens(Naked Necks) and they lay well with a nice personality then I'll happily include them in my plans.

What about Brahmas?

You're right, they're a large-sized chicken with pea comb and multiple colors. If they just came in a clean-legged variety, they'd be perfect

I had some once--that's when I fell in love with pea combs. But those feathered feet, in a climate that had either mud or snow for most of the year, made me swear to stick with clean-legged birds in future!

I am making mine this Spring! It is a cross of...

Blue Partridge Silkie
Buff Brahma
Mille Fleur D'uccle
Buff Cochin
Gold Laced Polish

I was thinking of having it lay blue eggs, but that would be to complicated.

A giant brahma (I am trying to breed my own but it is not going very well)

I agree!!! They need to be a breed even if they don't get recognized by the APA!
