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?
