What's the next HOT breed/color?

[Mahonri]

Next HOT breeds...

Cream Legbars Bluish eggs
Isbars green spotted eggs
Sulmtalers cream colored eggs (hatching eggs will soon be available in AZ!)
Icelandics white/cream colored eggs and these landrace birds come in a WILD varieties of colors

I currently have 1 Icelandic pullet that is giving me 2 to 3 cream colored pullet bullets a week. She is black with red flecks and a crest and like others of her color, I named her "Kola". Probably one of the most beautiful birds I have ever owned.

I hope to own a nice small flock of Sulmtalers and will be building another pen, just for them.

I'm also hoping I can either get hatching eggs or a few chicks of Isbars and Cream Legbars (Auto sexed at birth)

I don't think there should be many more "hot new breeds." There are too many old, rare, and beautiful breeds out there that need preserving for some wonder-layer-hybrid or some Arctic mutt to kick them off the scene. Even some of the more common breeds like Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds are in need of preserving: hatcheries have issued so many low-quality hybrids that look like these breeds that the genetics are getting rarer. We don't need too many more breeds, unless they are based on the best of the old breeds. We need to preserve the old breeds.

However, I'm all for new, hot colors

The more color varieties of a breed, the better, as long as a breed wasn't doped with another breed in order to make the color variety. For my part, I love that Purple color that Nicalandia uploaded in that picture!

I want some of those Indonesian "Laughing Chickens"!!! They are THE bird to have...if you want to tick off your neighbors!

Here is a link to the original thread on them, watch the videos, they are great! Just an FYI, in case someone wants to import these, I won't be paying $300.00 per chick in this lifetime!

It seems to me the Lavendar's and splashes, blue's and now Chocolate something or other. Once the Hatcheries get wind of the next designer chicken color, they will be all over it and then they will end up dilluting whatever breed they need to even more than they already have just to satisfy the demand.
