What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

[MeanCheek]

Good news I got a hold of the breeder and he is send more for just the shipping! Happy dance!!

Isabel is such a pretty color!

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 look like a Sussex that has a lot of extra white

I love Andalusians!
I wish there were rose comb Andalusians, I don't really like floppy combs.

We had a Blue Andalusian hen earlier this year. Her name was Almond. She had a big comb but I don't think it was very floppy, if at all. She was a beauty, but we had to sell her so we could go on vacation... 1 1/2 months later I took her last egg out of the barn and put it in the incubator and now it's about a day away from hatching. I was glad it was still fertile because I want one of her babies!

I can’t believe the egg I fertilize still

Rarest we have would be Black Minorca, or corronation Sussex?? I don't know, are they rare?? I haven't seen many people with these breeds/colours of breeds

Rarest I have would be my Ayam cemani, planning on hatching or buying more

Should I have mentioned my Black Langshans?

Ludwig, my rooster, is spectacular (and a complete gentleman). Sesame, the hen, doesn't lay the truly plum eggs they're supposed to, but usually achieves a purplish cast. (This is an older picture. She's seriously barebacked right now and I've had to make her a saddle).

It really was! It's been developing really well.

My geese are wild breeds too.

What breeds?
