What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

[JustBabyMargo]

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.

All the very rare breeds are a mouthful to say!

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.

Beautiful hen

I don't know how rare they are really considered anymore, but my rarest are my Dominiques. I absolutely adore their personalities already.

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

23 pages of responses and only a few duck people! I only have ducks but have some that were hard to find. Not sure whether the East Indies Ducks or the Australian Spotted Ducks are considered the most rare. My favorites so far, that are a little hard to find are Penciled Indian Runners. Mine are very friendly and like watching the 3 Stooges. I have some show Cayugas that are stunning.

Can't post duck pictures because I don't have them yet. Will be a few more weeks. (I'm getting 5 Cayuga ducklings. They are currently 2 weeks old.) Would love to see pictures of your Cayugas and East Indies.

Fun thread!

My rarest chicken is an Ermine Faverolles.
My rarest ducks are call ducks (not really rare, but hard to find locally).
My rarest peafowl are a couple of high percentage Spaldings.

I think I need pictures of Ermine Faverolles! That sounds amazing

She's pretty scruffy right now, but I do need to get some pictures.
