What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

[NatJ]

I've wanted Ameraucanas for a long time, but wonder if they're to large for my flock? Would an Ameraucana roo be to big for OEGBs and Pyncheons?
Even though I don't really like beards, I want a fluffy bird that lays nice big blue eggs!

That would be perfect for me, but I've never been able to find any.

Several of the major hatcheries have bantam chickens that lay blue or green eggs.
They may be listed as "Americanas" or Easter Eggers or various other names.
They typically look like wanna-be Ameraucanas in non-standard colors, some with beards and some without.

Meyer hatchery even sells some sexed:

https://www.meyerhatchery.com/Steele-Egger-Bantam-Day-Old-Chicks-p427117386

(But it's often cheaper to order three times as many straight-run bantam chicks from some other hatchery, and have a bunch of miniature fried chicken from the cockerels. Sexed bantam pullets are quite expensive from the few places that sell them.)

That would be good, except I don't really like hybrids/crosses. I would much rather have a pure Ameraucana so I could breed towards something.
Like I need more birds anyway

There are pure Ameraucana bantams but they are hard to find

So far mine are just grow outs, I got them from my wonderful friends at B&E Farms. They have high quality birds of all kinds. But they specialize in polish, LF Cochins, kikirikis, and Indio gigantes
I have linked their most recent eBay listing below where they have photos of their Indios

Well my ayam ketwna hen just crowed! It sounded like a normal rooster with a just little bit of cackling at the end. But they are supposed to improve as they age.
