I just made up my list for spring. I can't afford a new coop until June, 2010 so I'll be getting a late start.
I'm going to tell my DH that I'm getting these breeds because I need more eggs to keep up with demand from my customers. He doesn't need to know that some of these breeds don't lay so well.

Naked Necks - 2
Buff Orps. - 2
Production Reds (red stars) - 2
Patridge cochin (standard) - 2
Golden polish - 3
Easter eggers - 3
Cuckoo marans (maybe) - 2
Salmon Faverolles - 2

All pullets. One giant rooster is enough for me.
Plus, as soon as I can figure out how to convert an unused dog house I am getting a pair of seramas, but they will have their own chicken yard.
*List is subject to change on a whim*

What's on your list?
 
Blue Andalusians
Light Brahmas
Silver Laced Wyandotts

And whatever happens to catch my eye, subject to daily change and whim.

I would love to have some different breeds but my DH doesn't. We will be building a new coop shortly for our existing flock of 40 birds so they will all be together in one coop. Maybe after the new coop gets built and as things go along I can fill the other coops again. He also goes online and searches for the best egg layers since we are in the egg business now.
 
My wish list is

1 partridge silkie pullet
1 welsummer pullet
1 or 2 marans pullet, anything but cuckoo
and maybe 1 barnvelder pullet

Not too many left on my wish list.
 
my dream is the silver laced wyandottes.. go to backwood poultry and check them out. very pricey but they are georgous
