What is your dream chicken breed?

[NatJ]

I want to know what your dream chicken breed is? Whether it actually exists or not doesn't matter!

Dual-purpose, pea comb, comes in many colors, lays brown eggs.

(Like Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks, Orpingtons--but none of those have pea combs. And Buckeyes only come in one color.)

I want to do sultan (feathered feet, crest and muffs & beard) x gamefowl (gamey body, smart and less predator prone) x pheonix (more gamey body and long tail. I may add in bearded polish for extra big muffs and beard or Cochin for extra feathered feet.

But my favorite chickens are gamefowl.

Buff Chanteclers. I own them now and they currently make up a majority of my flock. They're hardy, practical, and beautiful.

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.

A black Phoenix.

Also a long crower, a laughing crower, a white Turken and a Malay.

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

If you don't mind me asking, what are you breeding with your Brahmas?

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

Well, I have & love my Ameracaunas, Wyandottes & Buff Orpingtons & Copper Marans & RIRs & 1 Comet & 1 Delaware/Buff/Brahma mix...I'm really liking the look of the Delaware feather pattern & the chunkiness of Brahmas, think I want to see some more of them in my flock. I also just adore the Phoenix ever since I met a handsome Roo at the yearly poultry show. I like Sebastopol Geese, too. Ya know...I think I need more land LOL.

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.
