What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

[chickawhat]

They look really fun. The black ones look especially like Spitzhaubens. They also look quite large?

They’re very large. Long thick legs not heavy bodied the way brahmas are though. They also mature freakishly fast. Very calm birds. I’ve got over 100 chickens and these are the only breed that strictly stay to themselves.

APA standard of perfection… I’ll have to look for that too…

I’m looking into getting the Australian standards book but that thing costs like $90 lol probably good to still have seen as I show my birds lol

Yeh the SOP book are so expensive

Yup! I've had several hatch from my Fawn Silver Duckwings. I posted some pictures of them in post #391 on the last page, but here they are again, a male and a female Khaki Silver Duckwing:

They almost look like opal

Where did you get them? It looks like you have a Silver Duckwing and a Black Breasted Red, but your BBR has the wrong leg color. They should both have the pale pinkish or white legs like the Silver Duckwing has.

Neither one of them is red XD. They are tsc quality birds.

I used to have a pekin/muscovy male. He was my baby.

I really want them, and other big breeds, but I would worry about a nine pound Long Crower or evan a six pound Dominique roo on one of my little one pound Pyncheon hens. What does everyone think about that?

Our rarest breed is Dominiques, four pullets and a cockerel. Here's what I found about them:

Dominiques are considered a "heritage" breed of chicken in that they've been around for hundreds of years and are now critically endangered. Some people can't tell the difference between a Dominique and a Barred Rock, but the trained eye will notice that Dominques have a rose comb versus the Barred Rock's single comb.

We chose this breed partly for their striped good looks and camouflage (we free range our flock part of the day), and partly for that rose comb, which is virtually impervious to frostbite. They are calm and personable, and forage well. They are also sexable at hatch.

I want Dominiques!
They are also called Pilgrim Fowl, because they are thought to be the first American breed.
