What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

[MeanCheek]

Probably my beloved silkied Cochin bantams, but thankfully they are coming out of obscurity in recent years and becoming less scarce.

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

I have Campines, which are considered both rare & endangered in my country.

Do you have some pictures? I’d love to see what they look like. I consider myself still a newbie even though I’ve had chickens for about 7 yrs off n on. This is my first year on trying from chicks. I’ve been getting pullets that are at least 14 wks old.

Campines are neat! I don't know how much I like hen-feathered breeds, though.

My splash Ameraucana is probably my rarest chicken. All of my ducks are ornamental waterfowl which are definitely rare. My geese are wild breeds too.

All of your waterfowl are amazing!

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.

I have blue d’Uccles! (Not self blue)
I also have a splash which is even rarer.

Anyone else?

My rarest are by far my Pyncheons, then my Spitzhaubens.
