What's the rarest breed or variety of chicken, duck, goose, or any other poultry you have?

Genuine Ameraucanas are pretty difficult to find these days.

They are. I love my girl and her blue eggs though.

Please forgive my ignorance but, I've never heard of them?

No, you're fine! They are pretty rare still! They're pure Cochin bantams with the silkie-feather gene that makes them look fuzzy like a Silkie.

Partridge Chanteclers. It's the only breed I have, and they seem to be hard to find.

My rarest would be the Aloha's. last year the breeding flocks fell to five farms with a total population of around 100 left worldwide due to predation and weird calamities.

I've brought eggs in from all the farms left to make sure I have all the genetics left I can. I hatched out or brought in140 chicks so when they start laying I will have the largest flock to hopefully get eggs and chicks to people who are interested in helping bring the breed back from the edge of extinction.

They aren’t all that “rare”, although they were hard to find, but I own Narragansett turkeys! They are such a hoot! I own 4 adults and, for now, a bunch of babies. I’m hoping to keep at least two more females out of our hatched poults.

May I introduce Jean-Claude & Hieronymus my Liege Fighter roos. They are almost as big as my turkey toms- sweet boys, too.

I also own a handful of double silver laced Barnevelder bantam hens. I think they are more on the rare side-
