What is Your DREAM Flock? (And What's Realistic?)

[-BOGGS-]

Boy oh boy...let me see..I'd have a breeding trio of every LF wyandotte variety and a trio of every wyandotte bantam variety..

I love my mixed flock and colorful eggs, but I've dreamt of a flock of beautiful Swedish Flower chickens free ranging in the yard.

We're restricted to 3 here. We're getting chicks this month - a red sex link, an Ideal 236 (Leghorn hybrid), and an Easter Egger - so we can start our chicken experiences with three we can tell apart, and we can tell who's laying. But - if the bill passes Texas house and senate, our restriction might go up to 6. I'd like a Buff Orpington, I've heard so much good stuff about them, and I've just been seeing the pictures of Golden Laced Wyandotte, so I want one of those. What are those hens that lay the deep chocolate brown eggs? Maybe that for the 6th one.

Sounds about like me, I want all the colored eggs, I've got an order in that's arriving on my birthday the only one I dint get was the samon flavoras I think its called, I've heard they lay a light pink egg.

Anything. Seriously. Any breed as long as it was Marek's free.

My original desire was to breed hard to find Orpington colors. Then bring rare ornamental birds into my area. Then Marek's disease happened. Now I just want healthy birds

A flock that never gets sick
There’s always something going on every week.

I agree. That's a winner.
