1) Buff is a color. Not part of the breed. “Orpington“ is the breed name. I like English Orps, but hate the color buff.

2) Does this mean Araucana or Ameraucana?

3) “Americauna” is another name for Easter Eggers. Which are mixes.

4) Frizzle is a feather type, not a breed.



My favorite breed is Ameraucana, but that’s not on the list. 😊

From the given choices I’d probably say bantam Cochin. Absolutely love FLOOF. 😍
 
Choose your favorite breed! Or comment if You chose other
My absolute favorites are Mille Fleur d'Uccle hens. They are so pretty!! I just love their spots and feathered feet! I also like Salmon Favorelles, they are like little barn owls, and I think they are so cute!! Heart ❤️ if you just love these kinds!
 
I ordered 10 chicks of 10 different breeds. 9 of them could care less about me - unless I have food in a bucket. The only hen that shows any interest in me is my ISA Brown. She jumps up on the ledge every morning when I open the coop door. She wants to be petted a time or two, then jumps back down. Sometimes I give her a small treat when she greats me in the morning. Although she is very friendly towards me, she can be more aggressive towards the other hens in the flock. My ISA Brown is also my best egg layer, giving me an XL egg almost every day. For egg production, I don't think you can get a better chicken than an ISA Brown.

Having said that, I do enjoy all my various chicken breeds and my chicken run is very colorful with all those hens running around. On a good egg day, I will have a green egg, a white egg, and a bunch of brown eggs of various shades.
